Two dollar bills were first printed in 1862 — bills from that year are worth up to $2,800. However, bills that were printed in 1890 can be worth far more, up to $4,500.
The estimated price by U.S. Currency Auctions, a website that documents paper money resources, notes that the type and seal color on any $2 bill plays a role in determining the bill's modern worth, according to Fox Business.
The two bill types that are worth up to $4,500 have different color seals. One has a brown seal, and the other has a red one. Uncirculated $2 bills were all worth more than the average range of worth for circulated bills. The only bill that comes close to the 1890 bill's modern value is a $2 bill from 1869, which has an uncirculated value of over $3,800.Circulated bills from 1890 were also worth the most out of all $2 bills, ranging in worth from $550 to $2,500. Circulated $2 bills from 1880 were the runner-up in their modern value, ranging from $600 to $2,200.
Two dollar bills were first printed in 1862. They held more value at the time because most United States residents were earning under $15. Over 100 years later, however, the Federal Reserve stopped printing $2 bills in 1966 due to a lack of use for them, according to CNB St. Louis Bank.
