Does the US Mint still make 2 dollar bills? Are the older ones worth much due to scarcity?

Answer 1

First of all the U.S. Mints do not print currency they mint coins. paper money is not minted. The Bureau of Engraving and Printing (BEP) prints our paper money. It has a facility in Washington DC as well as Fort Worth Texas. One other thing the dates on bills are not the date they were printed, but the date the bill was first authorized, changed or a new signature was added. Small size $2 notes, the kind we have today were first issued as series 1928. Notes of the 1953 series as well the 1963 and 1976 series are not that rare. They command a premium in high grades. Some of the star notes, there is a star in place of a letter in the serial number, have a higher value. An example is the 2003A star note that sells for $45.00 and the 1928B that sells for $25,000 in grade fine. Yes they are still printing two dollar bills.

Answer 2

YES, they have been making Two dollar bills since 1976... but in rather small printings. I visit a local shop that REQUESTS two-dollar bills from it's bank for use as change...

1953 era two dollar bills ARE rarer... the treasury stamp and serial numbers are in red ink. I have twenty of them from 1953-1956 that I got as a kid.

The 1976 series is just standard currency... the 1953A series can have extra value if they're in good to mint condition. I wish I could find you an online link to determine their value
