steprevv New Member United States 3 Posts	Posted 02/23/2024 5:31 pm Hello! I picked these colorized $2 bills up at an antique store. I've been googling them and discovered that there was a series of authenticated, uncirculated $2 bills commemorating national parks. However, the photos of those bills don't match any of these four bills. There are noticeable differences in the backgrounds and scenery. I can't find any reference or photo of these exact bills anywhere online. Please help me determine what these are and what they may be worth!! It doesn't seem like they're part of the $2 bill national park series, but I really have no clue. I uploaded close-ups of two bills, but there's 4 different ones total. Thanks!

steprevv New Member United States 3 Posts	Posted 02/23/2024 6:28 pm Thanks for the reply! I have no knowledge on coin/bill collecting, so could you be a little more specific? I wasn't aware after-market bills even existed. Is this the product of some guy with a fancy printer who ran real $2 bills through it with some special artwork on top? Report this Post to the Staff

No real numismatic premium associated with them, unfortunately. Inordinately fascinated by bits of metal with strange markings and figures Report this Post to the Staff
steprevv New Member United States 3 Posts	Posted 02/23/2024 7:07 pm Fascinating! Thanks for all the welcomes btw. I'm a huge $2 bill fan and a huge national park fan, so they're valuable to me even if only worth face value elsewhere. Thankfully I didn't pay much more than $2 for each Edited by steprevv 02/23/2024 7:08 pm Report this Post to the Staff

The base note (or coin) is a genuine USA product then after-market color is added. They are generally consider souvenir products with no numismatic premium.
