About the $2 bill
The front of the current version of the $2 bill features the face of Thomas Jefferson, the primary author of the Declaration of Independence. On the back, there is a portrait of the signing of that document.
The $2 bill has a negative reputation due to superstitions and its association with illegal activities like voter bribery. The U.S. Treasury attempted to popularize the bill in the early 20th century, but it turned out to be a failure. As a result, the government stopped issuing new twos for a period of time.
