The two independence bills printed in the United States were the first and second drafts of the Declaration of Independence. The exact number of copies printed varies by historical accounts, but it is estimated that around 200 copies of the Dunlap Broadside, the first printed version, were made. These copies were distributed to the Continental Congress and other important figures of the time. The second draft, although not widely printed, was circulated among Congress members for discussion and revision.
It depends on when your bill was printed. Bills printed in 1976 and later show the interior of Independence Hall. Older $2 bills have a picture of Jefferson's home, Monticello. There is a small caption on the bill identifying it.
The $2 is still being printed but in very small amounts. Under 1% of all notes currently produced are $2 bills.In 2005, 61 million $2 bills were printed by the U.S. Bureau of Engraving and Printing. This is more than twice the number of $2 bills that were printed annually between 1990 and 2001.
Approximately 230,400,000 Series 2003 A US $2 bills were printed. Production actually occurred in 2006; series dates currently reflect only a particular signature combination on US bills and not actual printing dates. All Series 2003A $2's were printed at Fort Worth, TX.
There are 1$, 2$, 5$, 10$, 20$, 50$, and 100$ bills currently printed.

Depending on how you define "type", there have been at least 15 major varieties of US $2 bills since the denomination was first printed in 1862. Within those varieties there have been other more minor changes resulting in more than 2 dozen differences. Before all bills were standardized in 1928, $2 bills were printed as United States Notes, Silver Certificates, Treasury Notes, and National Currency Notes. Several of those series had multiple designs. Starting in 1928, all $2 bills were printed as United States Notes with red seals. Bills were further standardized in 1953, and $2 bills were again redesigned. The 1963 issue was modified to include the motto In "God We Trust" on the back. United States Notes were discontinued in the late 1960s, and $2 bills were converted to Federal Reserve Notes in 1976. As part of the Bicentennial, the reverse was completely redesigned and now shows an interpretation of Trumbull's painting of the signing of the Declaration of Independence.
The first federally-issued $2 bills were printed in 1862. The denomination is still being printed, but not in large quantities. As of this writing the most recent printing was in 2012, although the bills carry a 2009 series date.
As of July 2010 no series 2009 or 2010 $2 bills have been printed.
1 : $2 bills are not silver, they're paper. 2 : Bills are printed, not minted. 3 : No $2 bills of any kind were printed in 2000. So what DO you have? Any $2 bill dated 1963 or later is worth face value only.
Yes, many millions of them. All US $2 bills were printed as red-seal US Notes from 1928 to 1963. Most $2 bills issued before that also had red seals but weren't necessarily US Notes.
No. US bills are printed by "series" date regardless of the year when they're actually produced. As of 2015 the most recent series of $2 bills is dated 2013, although they were printed in 2014.
