∙ 8y agoThe first $2 bills were red-seal United States Notes printed in 1862.
The denomination has been printed irregularly since that time. Up till 1963 the majority were all US Notes. In 1976 the first green-seal $2 Federal Reserve Notes were printed, and those are the only variety made today.
While demand for $2 bills is low it's never been zero, and some parts of the country have recently seen very slight increases in use. The denomination has never been discontinued; as of this writing there have been printings with the 2003, 2009, and 2013 series dates.
