Series 2003 $2 Federal Reserve Note
This is a United States two-dollar bill, specifically a Federal Reserve Note from the Series 2003 production run. The obverse features a centered portrait of Thomas Jefferson, the third President of the United States, based on a painting by Gilbert Stuart. The note is printed on standard cotton-linen currency paper, displaying the characteristic green and black intaglio ink. Notable markings include the green Treasury Seal on the right and the black Federal Reserve District Seal for Minneapolis (indicated by the letter 'I' and the number '9') on the left. The serial number 'I 54243849 A' is printed twice in green ink. Signatures of Rosario Marin (Treasurer of the United States) and John W. Snow (Secretary of the Treasury) are present. Regarding condition, the bill shows signs of circulation including several vertical folds and one prominent horizontal crease, suggesting it was once folded into quarters. There is a handwritten ink mark '26' or '2.6' near the bottom right signature, which acts as a 'teller mark' or graffiti, detracting from the pristine numismatic value. The edges show slight softening and a minor corner tick at the top left, but no significant tearing or heavy staining is visible. The printing remains sharp with good contrast, and the paper retains a relatively clean, off-white appearance despite the mechanical wear from handling.
