ContraJame Valued Member United States 292 Posts	Posted 01/20/2012 3:08 pm A little history first... For probably the first 15 years or so of my life my Great Aunt sent me birthday cards with $2 bills stuck inside. I have a couple left that I managed to not spend as a kid. I was looking through some things recently and found them and was reminded of her. I'd like to find a 1927 $2 Bill and send it to her for her 86th birthday. I don't know anything about currency which is why I'm here. Do you have any advice or ideas? And what do you think I should expect to spend? Thanks in advance. (: I know you won't do me wrong.

ContraJame Valued Member United States 292 Posts	Posted 01/20/2012 3:50 pm Sad to say it appears you're correct. It appears to have stopped in 1918 and started back up in 1928. Here's a link I found: http://www.uscurrencyauctions.com/$2notes.htm No clue how accurate the pricing is but it looks like a good list for reference. Hopefully she was born in 1928. Otherwise I may have to build her a 1927 coin type set instead. Report this Post to the Staff

They may have made $2 in 1927, but you'd have to have a list if serial numbers. Ones, for example, were made in 1923, 1928, 1934, 1935, 1957, 1963 series (and older and newer).
