CCFPress Press Manager United States 1420 Posts	Posted 07/16/2020 8:27 pm PCGS - In today's article we re-visit the "The Wonderful World of $2 Banknotes" from the May/June PCGS Rare Coin Market Report. The first Legal Tender $2 notes were authorized for issue on February 25, 1862 and carry a portrait of Alexander Hamilton. These notes were issued until Series 1869, the "Rainbow" issues we covered about a month back. Read the entire article. Report this Post to the Staff

sel_69l Bedrock of the Community Australia 21786 Posts	Posted 10/14/2020 07:49 am I know that $2 denominations (in this case $2 banknotes) have never been popular in America, but they are popular in the rest of the World. Other examples are 2 Cents and 20 Cents, but the $20 banknote and Double Eagle seem to have escaped this rejection. I have yet to acquire and example of a 2 Cents and a Double Dime in my collection.
