The Bicentennial of 1976 marked two hundred years since the signing of the Declaration of Independence. It was not a single day but a coordinated year-long program of events, parades, museum exhibitions, and national symbolism. Every federal agency participated. The Treasury chose to revive the long-dormant $2 denomination as its contribution to the festivities, creating the first and only circulating paper-money commemorative in United States history. By re-introducing the Jefferson note, the government hoped to give every citizen an affordable keepsake of the nation’s 200th birthday—a piece of the celebration that could pass through ordinary hands.
