A Historic Commemorative from the Turn of the Millennium

This listing offers a pristine and highly collectible piece of American currency. It is a 1995 Series Two Dollar bill, designated as a Millennium Note by the United States Treasury Department's Bureau of Engraving and Printing. This special note begins with the serial number 2000 and is from the Atlanta Federal Reserve Bank, designated by District F. It was produced during fiscal years 1996 and 1997 at the Bureau's Fort Worth facility. The note is presented in its original collector's folder, which explains its unique characteristics related to the new millennium. The folder is green with decorative elements and text details about the note's rarity.

Historical Context: The 1995 Millennium Two Dollar Note

In 2000, the Treasury issued Series 1995 Two Dollar Millennium Notes to celebrate the new millennium. These special notes were offered by the BEP to collectors at a premium in a presentation folder with sleeve.

Prior to this issuance, the only two-dollar notes printed for the Series 1995 were for the Atlanta Federal Reserve District, with a production of 153.6 million notes. For the Millennium Notes, however, the BEP produced special notes for each of the twelve Federal Reserve Districts in a very limited quantity of just 9,999 notes per District. The first four digits of the serial number were 2000.

Rarity and Significance

The Millennium Note is unique because no more than 9,999 Series 1995 Two Dollar notes exist for any Federal Reserve Bank except Atlanta. Each note was issued with a star suffix, for replacement notes, and was sold by the BEP as a commemorative numismatic product.

Design and Specifications

The obverse features the portrait of President Thomas Jefferson, while the reverse displays John Trumbull's painting Declaration of Independence. The note bears the signatures of Mary Ellen Withrow as Treasurer and Robert E. Rubin as Secretary of the Treasury.
