The U.S. first issued $2 notes during the Civil War. They were red seal U.S. Notes dated 1862.

Early bills carried a picture of Alexander Hamilton. In 1869 his picture was replaced by Thomas Jefferson's. Other designs followed but Jefferson's image was made permanent in 1928 and continues to be used on current $2 bills.

Busting the myths

The $2 bill has never been discontinued or withdrawn. Modern ones are not rare; they're printed as needed. Despite making up only about 1% of all bills in circulation, that's still hundreds of millions of bills.
