Geocache Description:


Some fun facts about the US $2 bill:

  • First issued in 1862 during the Civil War, the $2 bill was part of the first U.S. paper currency.

  • The front features Thomas Jefferson, but originally showed Alexander Hamilton, who later moved to the $10 bill. Jefferson’s portrait has remained the same since 1929, making it the oldest unchanged front design still in use.

  • The back shows John Trumbull’s painting The Declaration of Independence, with 42 of the 56 signers depicted.

  • The $2 bill is still legal tender and printed by the U.S. Treasury, but it's rarely seen in circulation because people tend to hoard them or assume they're no longer made.  However, you can still order them from banks, just like any other denomination!

  • Some $2 bills have sold for thousands of dollars! A 1976 bill with serial number "L00000001" went for $35,250, a 2003 low serial number sold for $4,000, and an 1890 $2 Treasury Note fetched $69,000 at auction!

This should be an easy park and grab as long as there are no muggles watching you.  Stealth should be used and the cache placed exactly as found.  Happy caching!
