caption_attribution_description: This photograph is of an United States two dollar uncut 32-subject (32-note) currency sheet. A 32-subject sheet is the largest sheet available from the Bureau of Engraving and Printing. The image is tilted, yet still allows you to see that there are 4 columns and 8 rows, which in this $2 uncut sheet, represents $64. The sheet photographed here contains 1995 series notes and was purchased in the first week of July 2001 from the Bureau of Engraving and Printing in Washington DC for $80. If you can't make the trip, you can buy your own 32-subject sheet online from their store: http://www.moneyfactory.gov/store/section.cfm/69/84
context_page_description: The United States two-dollar bill is a current denomination of U.S. currency. A portrait of Thomas Jefferson, the third President of the United States, is featured on the obverse of the note. The reverse features an engraving of the painting Declaration of Independence by John Trumbull.
  Throughout the $2 bill's pre-1929 life as a large-sized note, it was issued as a United States Note, National Bank Note, silver certificate, Treasury or "Coin" Note and Federal Reserve Bank Note. When U.S. currency was changed to its current size, the $2 bill was issued only as a United States Note. Production continued until 1966, when United States Notes were phased out and the $2 denomination discontinued until 1976 when it was reissued as a Federal Reserve Note with a new reverse design.
  As a result of banking policies with businesses which have resulted in low production numbers due to lack of use, two-dollar bills do not circulate as well as other denominations of U.S. currency.
context_section_description: Uncut currency sheets are available from the Bureau of Engraving and Printing. Some of the recent $2 uncut sheets from Series 1995 and Series 2003 have been collectibles as they come from special non-circulation printings. Most of the Series 1995 $2 uncut sheets had a higher suffix letter in the serial number than regular circulation $2 bills.
  In late 1999, to celebrate the new millennium, a unique run of 9,999 Series 1995 $2 star notes were printed for all twelve Federal Reserve Banks; the initial printing of Series 1995 $2 notes for circulation was for the Atlanta district (F) only. Uncut $2 sheets from Series 2003 were printed for the Boston (A), New York (B), Atlanta (F), Chicago (G), Minneapolis (I), and Dallas (K) Federal Reserve districts; notes from the Minneapolis district were the only ones released for circulation. Uncut sheets of Series 2003A have also been produced, although in this case circulating currency for all twelve districts has also been made. All $2 notes beginning with Series 1995 have been printed in the BEP facility in Fort Worth, Texas, (indicated by "FW" preceding the face plate number on the obverse of the note).
  Uncut sheets of $2 bills are available in various sizes. A 32-subject sheet, which is the original-size sheet on which the notes are printed, is available. Other sheet sizes available have been cut from the original 32-subject sheet. These include half (sixteen-note), quarter (eight-note), and eighth (four-note) sheets for $2 bills. Uncut sheets are sold for more than their respective face values.
  Uncut sheets of large size notes (issued before 1928) also exist, but are extremely rare.
