New $2 notes?

[jayjay2789]

While watchin a Currency show, they mantioned that there will be new $2 notes . I Believe they mentioned that the seal color is going to change. Anybody know if this is true or could share more insight about this topic?

The last ones were series 2003, and the are still FRNs with green seals. The BEP has repeatedly stated they have no plans to redesign the $1 or $2, so I think either they misspoke or you misheard them.

A seal color change would amount to issuance of something other than FRNs. IIRC, the gov't has destroyed all of the remaining stock red seals (US notes) within the past 10 years and agreed to not issue any more.

 

A commem $2 would be kewl, tho.

Does this mean that i should stock up on 2's because they are never going to produce any more $2 after the 2003 series? Or does this mean that they will reprint $2 at a later year, 2006 for ex.?

Well, no one thought they would print them again after the 1976 issue, and they printed more in 1995 and 2003. My guess is they will likely print some more in 5 or 10 years, or whenever the existing supply runs low.

It is true that the BEP has said no plans to redesign however: Since they last said that they have been progressively redesigning the 100's then the 50's then the 20's and have said they have plans to redesign all the notes to the new standard over time. Whether $2's will be printed in the new standard depends on how long it takes the BEP to get that far and whether any more $2 notes are printed after the redesign.

The BEP still has sets of 2003 star notes from each bank 12= $119.40 (ouch) or $9.95 each. At least they are low serial numbered.

Are you refering to the online BEP store?

Yes , I have got a few notes from them for my better half , and a few for myself .

I'm not a big note collector , but I have a few ....mostly red seal $2 and multi-denom star notes .

Cool thread to update: Since the last post, we have three new series of $2 FRNs: 2009A, 2009, and 2013.

 

We also have some very tough stars: 2003A F* 320,000 notes, L* 384,000 notes and unreported. 2009 B* 128,000 notes, the "common 2009 K* at 512,000 notes and the unreported 2009 L* at 128,000 notes. Lastly (as of the October 2014 BEP report: 2013 F* at 640,000 notes.

 

That list should keep $2 FRN collectors busy for quite awhile.
