President Thomas Jefferson is depicted on the obverse side of the 1928 $2 Legal Tender Note. President Jefferson, the 3rd President of the United States of America, had featured on the $2 United States Note since 1869. The only other figure to feature on the $2 denomination was Alexander Hamilton, who featured on the note in the 1862-1863 Series release.
Jefferson’s home at Monticello is found on the reverse of 1928 $2 Legal Tender Notes. This design made its debut on the $2 United States Note in 1928 with the release of the first-ever small-sized versions of the notes.

“There’s something tantalizing about holding a near 100 year old bill. Bought a couple as a gift and they came in a protective sleeve (which itself was in a cardboard envelope). Paying for something above face value might sound nuts, but when you consider the rarity of $2 bills in general as well as the US Notes being discontinued, holding such a bill will always leave you with awe.”
