United States Notes have a rich history, introduced for circulation during the Civil War in 1862, covering denominations from $1 to $1,000. The $2 denomination persisted through the transition to small-size notes in 1928 and remained in circulation until its discontinuation in the early 1960s. Due to its historical significance and distinctive design, this Series 1953 B $2 note with a red Treasury seal remains a highly sought-after collectible piece for currency collectors.
