Do you have a $2 bill tucked away somewhere? Though rarely seen today, this note holds a fascinating history — and sometimes, surprising value. First printed in 1862 during the Civil War, it originally featured Alexander Hamilton before Thomas Jefferson took his place. Once considered unlucky and even traded for less than its face value, the $2 bill has since become a collector’s gem. Modern interest focuses on rare editions — especially those with red seals, unique serial numbers, or star symbols — which can fetch hundreds of dollars. So before you spend it, check your drawer… it might be worth more than you think!
