2002 Commemorative Bill Appraisal

2002 9/11 Commemorative "Two Thousand Two Dollars" Bill

This appears to be a privately produced 2002 "Two Thousand Two Dollars" commemorative or novelty bill. It is not legal tender. The bill features a central vignette depicting a scene with multiple figures, possibly related to the 9/11 events or the subsequent response, given the stated commemorative purpose. The words "UNITED STATES OF AMERICA" are printed at the top. The number "2002" is prominently displayed in all four corners and in larger formats flanking the central image. There are seals visible, one on the left with a green shield-like design and one on the right that appears to be green with a central "2002". Signatures are present below the central vignette, with one clearly reading "George W. Bush." "TWO THOUSAND TWO DOLLARS" is printed across the bottom. The bill has text indicating it is for "USA + NYC" and "NEW YORK CITY." While the exact size is not discernible from the image, it appears to be standard US bill dimensions. The bill itself appears to be in perfect condition, likely because it is housed within a clear plastic protective case, which shows minor surface wear or reflections. No wear, tears, folds, or discoloration are visible on the bill itself.
