During Trump's second term, the administration pursued a sweeping branding push to put his name and likeness on a wide array of federal assets—from renamed agencies and venues to currency, park passes, passports, and commemorative coins—sparking legal challenges and controversy as some efforts advanced under the 250th anniversary celebration while others failed.
The U.S. Treasury says President Donald Trump’s signature will soon appear on paper dollar bills, marking the first time a sitting president’s signature is on U.S. currency and tying into the 250th anniversary celebrations; the move has raised legal questions since living presidents have been restricted from appearing on currency, and Democrats have introduced legislation to ban such depictions.
The $2 bill, which has been in circulation since the 18th century, is often overlooked but can be worth a significant amount of money if you have the right bill. Uncirculated $2 bills from 1890 are estimated to sell for $4,500, while bills from 1862 to 1917 could be worth $1,000 or more. Even newer versions of the $2 bill can carry value, with a 2003 bill selling for $2,400 at auction and potentially being purchased now for $6,000. Despite its tarnished reputation, the $2 bill remains in circulation and is still being produced by the U.S. Treasury.
