Reverse Description: A depiction of the signing of the Declaration of Independence on the reverse. Background Story: The American two-dollar bill can fairly be called the misfit of American currency. It's striking artwork, unusual numerical value and commercial scarcity all contribute to its aura of mystique. Used more commonly as a good luck charm than legal tender, it has become a hot commodity among collectors worldwide. In 1976, the bill was reissued to commemorate the U.S. bicentennial. Put out on April 13th, the anniversary of Jefferson birthday, the bill featured new artwork on its reverse side-a depiction of the signing of the Declaration of Independence, based on a mural in the U.S. Capitol painted by John Trumbull. To this day, it is arguably the most distinctive artwork to decorate any U.S. currency. Even with its brilliant artwork and much-hyped return, the two dollar bill never found its way into the pocketbooks of mainstream America, and is virtually uncirculated today. Still, its enigmatic appeal continues to fascinate the collector and the layperson alike, as it will surely continue to do for years to come.
