Have $2 bills? Their value might surprise you!

Do you have a $2 bill tucked away in your drawer or wallet for good luck? Well, it’s time to take a closer look at those bills, as they may be worth more than you think.

U.S. Currency Auctions estimates that uncirculated $2 bills from 1890 could sell for at least $4,500, and uncirculated bills from nearly every year between 1862 and 1917 for at least $1,000. The auction site reports that collectors offer these rates depending on factors such as printing method and location.

Newer bills could also have significant value, as a $2 bill printed in 2003 sold at an auction for $2,400 in 2022. This particular bill had a very low serial number for the 2003 series and was sold through Heritage Auctions, the largest numismatic auction house in the world.
