The
Two Dollar Bill features former U.S. President Thomas Jefferson is featured on the obverse of the note. The design on the obverse (excluding the elements of a Federal Reserve Note) is the oldest design of current U.S. currency, having been adopted in 1929.
The reverse is the second oldest design, having been adopted in 1976. An engraved modified reproduction of the painting The Declaration of Independence by John Trumbull is featured on the reverse. Featuring John Adams and Thomas Jefferson, it is one of only two U.S. Currency notes that features two Presidents (the $5000 features George Washington and James Madison).
In spite of its relatively low value among the denominations of U.S. currency, the
Two Dollar Bill is one of the most rarely seen in circulation and actual use. Production of the note is quite low; under 1% of all notes currently produced are $2 bills.
