United States Two Dollar Bill (Federal Reserve Note)

The item is a United States Two Dollar Bill, specifically a Federal Reserve Note. The bill features a portrait of Thomas Jefferson on the obverse. The primary colors are green on a beige-white paper, typical of US currency. Key features visible include the prominent 'TWO DOLLARS' text at the top and bottom, the series number 'K 38733135 A' printed in dark green in two locations on the obverse, and what appears to be a Federal Reserve Bank indicator 'K' within a circular seal, likely for the Dallas Federal Reserve Bank (District 11, 'K'). The signatures of the Treasurer of the United States and the Secretary of the Treasury are also visible below the portrait, though specific names are not clearly legible. The bill shows significant signs of use and wear, including prominent vertical and horizontal folds, especially a strong central vertical crease and several horizontal creases. The paper exhibits a soft, somewhat rumpled texture consistent with circulation. There are no obvious tears or major repairs, but the overall condition suggests heavy handling, indicating a circulated grade rather than uncirculated. The edges appear worn but intact. The vintage of the bill can be inferred from the design and visible markings, placing it likely from the mid to late 20th century. The craftsmanship is standard for U.S. government-issued currency, incorporating security features and detailed engraving.
