About the 1953 $2 Bill
The United States issued
red seal two-dollar Legal Tender Notes between 1928 and 1966 The front of the
bill features a portrait of Thomas Jefferson. The back of the note features
Thomas Jefferson's home, Monticello, engraved by Joachim C. Benzing. In 1963,
the Treasury Department added the motto "IN GOD WE TRUST" to the back
of the note and placed it over the engraving of Monticello.
The treasury seal found
on the note is bright red. In 1928 it was located on the left side of the note
and moved to the right side of the note beginning with Series of 1953. Small
size two-dollar notes were first issued in 1928 when the United States was
still on the gold standard. There were still gold certificates and silver
certificates still in circulation. These silver certificates had a blue
treasury seal to differentiate them from other types of bills issued by the
United States government.
Beginning in 1975 (Series
1976), two-dollar Federal Reserve Notes were issued, and the treasury seal was
changed to green to differentiate from the Legal Tender Notes previously
issued. The front of the note remains the same, with the ornate scrolling in
the multiple counters located throughout the face of the bill. However, the
reverse was changed to the vignette of the signing of the Declaration of
Independence.
The two-dollar bill has a
short series to collect. A type collection of each small size notes issued in
1953 would consist of 4 Red Seal notes with mint marks
