1995 $2 Bill Value: How Much Is It Worth?
By Muhammad Khalid Hussain; published ; updated
A 1995 $2 bill is almost always worth exactly $2. It is a modern green seal Federal Reserve Note, printed in ordinary quantities, so a circulated example is common currency. A 1995 note is worth more only when it is a star note, carries a low or fancy serial, or is in crisp uncirculated condition.
The short answer
A 1995 $2 bill is a modern green seal Federal Reserve Note and, for almost everyone, it is worth its two-dollar face value. It was the first $2 series printed after the 1976 bicentennial note, following a long gap, but it was still produced in ordinary numbers, so a circulated 1995 note is common and trades at face.
The 1995 notes worth more than $2 are the exceptions: star notes, notes with a low or patterned serial, and crisp uncirculated examples. The chart below shows recorded ranges, and you can check your own serial with the tool further down.
1995 $2 bill value chart
The first chart is the ordinary 1995 note by condition, from the $2 series compilation. The second would show star notes, but we have no clean single-note 1995 star sales to publish, so those cells read no recorded sales rather than a guess. The figures are small because the series circulates at face value; the premium lives in the features below.
| Series | Circulated | Uncirculated |
|---|---|---|
| Series 1995 | $5.47 to $6.46 | $6.46 |
No recorded single-note star sales for this series yet. Star notes still carry a premium; use the star note lookup to read their print run.
Identifying your 1995 $2 note
- Seal colour: green (a Federal Reserve Note, not a red seal United States Note).
- Series: 1995.
- Front: Thomas Jefferson. Back: the signing of the Declaration of Independence.
- A star at the end of the serial marks a scarcer replacement note.
1995 $2 star notes
Star notes are the most reliable way for a 1995 $2 to carry a premium, because replacements were printed in smaller numbers than regular notes. Our BEP production dataset does not include 1995 $2 star run sizes, so we do not publish run figures for this series; the table below reflects that.
If your note ends in a star, you can look up a 1995 star note to read its run where data exists.
Our BEP production dataset has no $2 star print runs recorded for Series 1995, so we do not publish run sizes for it. Star notes from this series still carry a premium; condition and scarcity decide the figure.
Fancy and low serials on a 1995 $2
A collectible serial is the other route to a premium. A very low number, a radar, a repeater or a solid all add demand. Run your 1995 serial to flag any pattern or low number in seconds.
Should you keep or spend it?
Unless your 1995 $2 is a star note, has a low or fancy serial, or is crisp uncirculated, it is ordinary currency worth two dollars, and there is no harm in spending it. Keep one as a memento if you like, but check the serial first so you do not spend a genuinely collectible note by mistake.
