throughout the $2 bill's pre-1929 life as a large-sized note, it was issued as a united states note, national bank note, silver certificate, treasury or "coin" note and federal reserve bank note. when u.s. currency was changed to its current size, the $2 bill was issued only as a united states note. production went on until 1966, when the series was discontinued. ten years passed before the $2 bill was reissued as a federal reserve note with a new reverse design.
