  • You may not think they still make 2 dollar bills, but they do. In this clip from The Two Dollar Bill Documentary, you'll learn the entire process of how $2 bills are made at the Bureau of Engraving and Printing, from engraving to plate-making, printing, cutting, adding serial numbers and more. If you have a 2 dollar bill with the year 2013 on it, it probably came from this run!

    I've always liked the two-dollar bill, but I never realized just how pretty the reverse side is. There is a lot of detail in the image that is printed there. I'm going to start using two-dollar bills to pay for everything.

      If you like the back of the current $2 bill, you may also love the backs of others. Here's a video that showcases those: czcams.com/video/wTNxH-OePb8/video.html

      I always liked the $2 bill...except for the fact that it features a POTUS who owned hundreds of slaves throughout his lifetime, raping and impregnating a juvenile he owned, and not setting any of them free even after his death...Thomas Jefferson enslaved over 600 human beings throughout the course of his life...400 people were enslaved at Monticello; the other 200 people were held in bondage on Jefferson's other properties...At any given time, around 130 people were enslaved at Monticello...

    Years ago I would regularly travel to Montreal Canada and stay at a swanky hotel. I always made it a point to tip the valet with $2 dollar bills. I was well known by that crew because none of them had seen one in Canada and all of them wanted them.

    That fw is that called a branded note because I got the Texas two step currency set from the bep and they called it a branded note

    • @TheTwoDollarBillDocumentary
      @TheTwoDollarBillDocumentary  Před 4 lety

      I'm not sure what the Texas two-step set is, so it's hard to say for sure. But the fw could be what makes it a branded set, since notes printed in Washington, DC don't have any markings like that. I will have to look that up! I have not heard of it.

    It’s funny to see that much currency made but the perception is they’re rare. If the government put as much effort into circulating twos as creating them it would be different. But it’s not their job. People need to stop putting them in their drawers and use them. On the other hand as a society we’re using coins and paper less and less so it is what it is.

    • @TheTwoDollarBillDocumentary
      @TheTwoDollarBillDocumentary  Před 4 lety

      Agreed. This channel is trying to get people to learn more about $2 bills, and hopefully use them. But it is true that there are a lot of people that already use them on a regular basis. Here's out video on that topic: czcams.com/video/R7YC6qLuJF4/video.html

      Coin stores probably sell them. Unfortunately the key word is sell. There’s most likely a charge involved. But the hyperlink to you’re comment is probably good. But some ppl like to actually have the transaction face to face instead of the internet. So I’m told.

Instead of a Series 2019, it would either be a Series 2017 or Series 2017A. Series 1976 $2 notes are a notable exception, as Series 1974 was the main series for the notes issued during the Ford administration, and Series 1977 and Series 1977A were Carter bills.
