The $2 bill, once considered unlucky and even cursed by superstitious people, has had a complicated history in American currency. Many Americans believed it was rare, no longer printed, or out of circulation, but in 2023, 1.6 billion $2 bills were in circulation. Historically unpopular, the $2 bill was even thought to bring bad luck, with some people mutilating the bills to reverse the curse. Despite its reputation, the $2 note is valued by collectors, especially older bills from the 1800s or those with rare serial numbers, which can fetch thousands of dollars. The bill, redesigned in 1869 to feature Thomas Jefferson, continues to be a unique and intriguing part of U.S. currency.
