Hey Nina,
Glad to know you received the package, thanks for letting me know.
I thought it was cutting it close before your move, sometimes the mail from here is rather slow.

It's not too surprising considering the time lapse between the printing of the 76 series to the 95 series for example.
If anything I think the $2 would have a bigger role in the future than it has for awhile.
Since relatively low amounts of $2 are printed compared to other denominations and since they aren't used by the general public that much
I suppose they don't really need to print them so often.
But Nina like you, I'm also glad they are still printing the $2, would be cool if they updated it into a big head design.

2003A $2.00 notes were printed from July to September 2006 with a run of stars being printed in January 2012.
2009 $2.00 notes were printed from February to August 2012 which is the latest date that information is available that I could find.

left, Its part luck and at times it's off of ebay / trades / buys etc. It's somewhat easier to match fancy sn radars and repeaters but it's TUFF to match the end labels and other sn's. What is rather unique about the above set is that they are both Boston fed. You have to be patient and it takes a along time to do some of this. FWIW, I have had a $2 star pack which I have been using to trade and sell notes for more than 2 years. Last week one of the folks around here found the same matching sn's on chcu $2's and sold the matching notes to me. I have started selling off these sets....pick below and if anyone is interested I can list them on the BST. Thanks  |

Hi Guys,
I'm new here.
Anyway, even though there is no word of it on the Bureau of Engraving & Printing website, the Series 2009 $2 bill supply was made to last until 2014 and I am guessing that is because the $2 bill is getting a redesign with the next currency redesign for "Meaningful Access" (thats what they are calling the next redesign) after the new $100 bill of this current, "NexGen" redesign of currency ends with the release of the colorized $100 bill, the "Meaningful Access" redesign will start, and I am not sure how soon, but the BEP website states "after the new $100 bill" and since the current print run of Series 2009 $2 bills are only made to last until 2014, I wonder if the redesigned $2 bill will come out as "Series 2014" I suggested to the BEP that the redesigned $2 bill be released with the next redesigned $5 bill, so that vendors can reprogram machines, including machines that do not even take the current $2 bill design, to take the new design, and maybe the $2 bill will circulate better than it does now, since people will see the new design, and realize that $2 bills are not rare collectibles and start spending them. The only bill not getting a redesign with the Meaningful Access redesign is the $1 bill, which by law, its design can not be changed. (What a shame. I'd like to see all denominations redesigned, but at least the $2 bill is getting it, the next time around.

You know once this Meaningful Access redesign is implemented and these bills are commonplace across the US and the world, I think we will have a large portion of the population that will do a double take if they saw one of the small portrait FRN bills. Weird to think that's how things will be.

Yeah, the reason they won't redesign the $1 bill, is due to the costs to small businesses and vending industry who will have to reprogram or scrap and replace dollar bill validators that are too old to be reprogrammed for a new style $1 bill. Plus I heard a rumor, years ago that the vending industry said they would stop accepting $1 bills all together if they were redesigned. So, how can they reprogram for the $5 bill just fine, and the $5 bill circulates about as heavily as the $1 bill. Even $5 bill I get out of circulation is in way worse shape than the $1 bills.
I say, let these vendors and small businesses eat up the cost and redesign the $1 bill to make all denominations look like they actually belong in the same family. I'm not trying to be mean towards these businesses, but sometimes you got to give into things.

Oh, sorry for the double post but, I know that they said when the new colorized $100 bills come out, the Feds will immediately begin pulling the current non-colorized $100s from circulation and shredding them as they reach the Federal Reserve Banks. Now, since $2 bills rarely circulate, you gotta figure, even when the redesigned Meaningful Access $2 bill comes out, there will be old style $2 bills with the small portrait circulating for many years or even decades to come (take for example how we still see a fair amount of Series 1976, and even red seals sometimes), unless the Fed shreds every old style $2 bill that reached the Federal Reserve Banks as well, which I think would be a wise idea. Just to get "out with the old and in with the new"
