Series 2003 Federal Reserve Note - Two Dollars

This is a United States two-dollar Federal Reserve Note, Series 2003. The bill features a portrait of Thomas Jefferson, the third President of the United States, centered within an oval frame. The note is printed on standard currency paper (composed of cotton and linen fibers) and displays the distinctive green and black ink used by the Bureau of Engraving and Printing. Key markings include the serial number 'B53761428A' printed in green ink on both the upper-left and lower-right quadrants. The Federal Reserve Bank of New York (indicated by the 'B' seal and '2' numbers) is the issuing bank. The signatures of Anna Escobedo Cabral (Treasurer of the United States) and John W. Snow (Secretary of the Treasury) are present. The bill shows a notable horizontal crease through the center, suggesting it has been circulated, along with minor corner wear and slight paper softening. The printing remains crisp with well-defined engraving lines in the border and portrait. This note represents modern U.S. currency design and maintains its status as legal tender. The reverse, though not visible here, would typically feature John Trumbull’s painting 'Declaration of Independence.'
