Historical Significance
The 1976 $2 Green Seal Federal Reserve Note was reintroduced after a decade-long hiatus to commemorate the 200th anniversary of American independence. Released on April 13, 1976—Thomas Jefferson’s birthday—it marked a symbolic return of the denomination, connecting the founding ideals of liberty and innovation with the modern era.
Collectors prize this note for its Bicentennial heritage, bold artistry, and limited initial release, making it a cornerstone of 20th-century American paper currency.
Presentation
Each note is securely sealed in a clear acrylic holder and presented in a premium wooden display case for lasting protection and visual appeal. Natural signs of circulation and light wear affirm its authenticity and connection to America’s Bicentennial celebration.
