They're always worth $2. But if you had a unique one, either with a fancy serial number or perhaps an older bill pre-1976, then yes, a worse condition detracts from its value.

I made a discovery today. Bought some twos from a local bank to find some missing Federal Reserve Notes for my collection, and discovered that the BEP is now printing 2017A San Francisco $2s. I didn't think anything about it at first, but didn't realize that they were just released in April 2022 until after consulting my Paper Money of the United States book and noticing that as of that printing, they didn't produce Atlanta or San Francisco 2s.

I was unaware of that! Thanks for sharing. $2 bills are not rare, but some printings, like the one you just found a bill from, don't produce many units. So a 2017A from San Fran may have a bit more value for some collectors because there aren't many out there.

Another interesting $2 film. Very sad how inflation has sapped the value of all money. But I have one thing to point out - the Series of 1963 was not the last $2 bill. The series of 1963-A issued from 1965-1966 was actually the last. Keep up the interesting $2 bill videos - I enjoy them as I'm sure many other do.
@TheTwoDollarBillDocumentary
@TheTwoDollarBillDocumentary 2 жыл бұрын
Yes, you're absolutely correct. But to keep things simple, I merely meant that 1963 was the last "year" on a bill before it was discontinued. This was not the video to elaborate on those details! As always, thanks for watching!

@@TheTwoDollarBillDocumentary Fair enough. Keep up the series. I forget did you ever do a piece on $2 coins? I seem to think you did but I can't find it on you tube. Even though the US never issued a $2 coin they did issue $2.50 Gold Pieces. That might be an interesting adjunct to your $2 bill series. Just a quick suggestion.

I hope your reading this John. Has there been in recent years efforts to redesign the bill? Also can you make a short video answering it thanks if you read this- Edward
@TheTwoDollarBillDocumentary
@TheTwoDollarBillDocumentary 2 жыл бұрын
I did read this. No effort to redesign the bill - the other bills were redesigned (except the $1 and $2) to add anti-counterfeiting markings. Since nobody really counterfeits small-denomination bills, the $1 and $2 have stayed the same, and will continue to stay the same. It's not really enough to do a full video out of because it's a simple concept and answer. But maybe I can work it into another video where I show the markings on other bills.

My answers... 1. Probably not. Thieves want more than $2 for their efforts. That said, here are some guys who got busted for stealing twos: kzbin.info/www/bejne/o3WXnWSYd9uVgrc 2. These kinds of events don't make news, so I can't say for sure. I will say this: it's probably more likely that it happened than that it didn't happen.
