Have $2 bills? Their value might surprise you!

Do you have a $2 bill tucked away somewhere? These bills, while less common, have a fascinating history and can be quite valuable to collectors.

The $2 bill debuted in 1862 during the Civil War to ease coin demand. Initially featuring Alexander Hamilton, its design has changed over the years, showcasing various historical figures and landmarks.
