  • Bep History Fact Sheet
    BUREAU OF ENGRAVING AND PRINTING DEPARTMENT OF THE TREASURY BEP HISTORY FACT SHEET Prepared by the Historical Resource Center - Last Updated December 2013 HISTORICAL HIGHLIGHTS: $2 NOTE From 1862 to the present, the Federal Government has issued many different types of currency notes in $2 denominations. In all, there have been six different currency types with a $2 note. The Secretary of the Treasury is responsible for the selection of the designs, including the portraits, which appear on paper currency. $2 notes issued prior to 1928 featured many different designs, which would often change with the introduction of a new series. $2 notes issued since 1928 were smaller in size and more standardized in design, featuring a portrait of Thomas Jefferson on the face. Thus, for almost a century, the portrait of Thomas Jefferson has been a key design feature of the face of the $2 note. From 1928 until 1976, the back of the $2 featured a vignette of Jefferson’s home, Monticello. Starting in 1976, the back of the notes was changed to feature a portrayal of the presentation of the Declaration of Independence, the famous document that Jefferson authored. Below are production totals, series lists, design highlights and interesting facts for each currency type that has featured a $2 note. For more detail about notes currently in circulation, please visit www.newmoney.gov.

  • Battle-Of-The-Bills-Brochure.Pdf
    Federal Reserve Bank of Atlanta • Battle of the Bills The Atlanta Fed’s Economy Matters developed the “Battle of the Bills” as a way to tell a small part of the compelling story behind U.S. currency. Though we limited the feature to a mere 16 bills out of the hundreds that have existed since the founding of the United States, the single-elimination nature of the Battle of the Bills meant that we couldn’t present all the background information we’d developed for the “competitors.” But now that the votes have been cast and The Hawaii Overprint Note was declared the winner, we wanted to offer you the fascinating facts we gathered in support of the bills. We hope you enjoyed participating in the Battle of the Bills and that you’ll become a regular visitor to our digital magazine, frbatlanta.org/economymatters. SYMBOLS $50 Interest Bearing Treasury Note • This $50 interest bearing Treasury note was part of a series first is- sued by an act of the U.S. Treasury, March 3, 1863, to help fund the Civil War. • The note features an allegory of three females: Justice, center; Caduceus, left; and Loyalty, right. • This note was acceptable as legal tender and paid the bearer 5 per- cent interest per year for two years and its face value at maturity. • The date stamped in red on this note represents the payable date. 1 Federal Reserve Bank of Atlanta • Battle of the Bills One Dollar Bill • The Great Seal of the United States is featured on the back or reverse of the one dollar bill.
