rarely seen in circulation and actual use. They are almost never given as change for commercial transactions, and thus consumers rarely have them on hand. Production of the note is quite low; approximately 1% of all notes currently produced are $2 bills. This comparative scarcity in circulation has led to an overall lack of public knowledge of the $2 bill and has also inspired urban legends and folk 2003 2 dollar bill beliefs concerning it. Throughout the $2 bill's pre-1928 life as a large-sized note, it was issued as a United States Note, Silver Certificate, Treasury or "Coin" Note, and a Federal Reserve Bank Note.

half dollars. After getting the bills home, I could see that there weren't any red-seal $2 bills, 2 dollar bill 1976 with stamp and postmark but they're still neat to spend.

Here's what I found in the way of currency errors. A big thank-you to PaperMoneyGuide.com for allowing use of their pictures! Misalignment currency errors A dollar bill with a misalignment error on the portrait printing https://en.wikiversity.org/wiki/United_States_currency/$2_bill on the front side. Normal notes have an even border around the engraved picture on the front and back. Sometimes the framed part of the bill gets off alignment, and you'll have uneven borders, a chopped-off design, or even part of the next note's picture on it. Misalignment in one of the printings A dollar bill with a misaligned overprint. Notice how the seals and serial numbers are way off. The green seal that overlaps the spelled-out denomination to the right of the portrait on the http://www.mightybargainhunter.com/check-your-currency-for-errors/ front, as well as the serial numbers on the bills, are applied in the third printing. (The first and second are back and front, I believe.) If this printing is misaligned, the seal will be off-center, or the serial numbers will overlap some other part of the bill's design. (One of the 1976 $2 bills I got has a misaligned seal.) Ink smears A dollar bill with a black ink smear error. Just like what it sounds: black ink applied during the printing process gets loose on the bill. Each intaglio press uses over a ton of ink per hour and the ink on each printing takes three full days to dry, so it's tough to avoid smearing on every single bill. Printing on the wrong side A $10 bill with a third printing on the wrong side. Sometimes the seal and serial number are printed on the reverse rather than the obverse. Although the process of printing currency has a lot of automation, there's still has been some necessary manual handling of the sheets of bills within the process. If sheets were dropped and picked up in the stack upside down, then the printing will be flipped on the bills. Gutter folds or butterfly folds A $10 bill with a gutter fold error in the upper left. If the note gets a fold in it during the printing process, part of the note's design will be offset from the other part. Gutter folds go from one side of the note to the other, and but

Anything over a certain number (I forget dollar bill exactly, but something like 95999999) is from an uncut sheet that someone cut up. But the mint does make errors in cutting sometimes. The bills are likely not worth a premium unless part of the printed design is touching or cut off by the edge of the paper, or unless part of the design from a second bill is visible. Of course, if the bills 2 dollar bill are from an uncut sheet, there will be no added value, as it was done post-mint, and not an error. Joe hrhomer, Oct 12, 2009 #2 + Quote Reply Penny Fanatic Seated Half Collector Thank you! The serial numbers are definitely not that high, and they were cut extremely close to the design; in other words the cut sticks out but doesn't jump out as two bills on one would.
