Talk:United States two-dollar bill

King of England Smoking Tobacco

There is a clip concerning one of the earlier versions of the bill including the King of England smoking tobacco and an eagle on the reverse of the bill. This looks like vandalism but I can't verify that it is. Can anyone help here? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 148.170.181.199 (talk) 13:11, 20 June 2024 (UTC)

It's not vandalism, it's actually supported by the source. It's describing this version of the $2 bill. - ZLEA _T\^C 14:42, 20 June 2024 (UTC)

Small-sized bill date

I'm wondering which date we should go with for the first bills. They were authorized (and the Series Date) is 1928, but they weren't released into circulation until April 1929. To my mind, either of those dates would work, but I figured this was one of those small things that should be set by consensus. Almostfm (talk) 07:47, 13 November 2022 (UTC)

Please fix this silly-sounding contradiction

"Printing $2 bills is half as expensive for the government as printing $1 notes, since they both cost the same amount (6.2 cents per bill) to manufacture".

Er, so "Thing A costs half as much as thing B because they both cost the same."

You want to re-think whatever point you're making there by talking about the value or payload that a bill constitutes for the government. It's the return on investment that you have to compare, not the "cost of printing bills". 2601:600:A480:4C20:405D:30E4:3759:5267 (talk) 21:21, 20 September 2024 (UTC)

The claim that the $2 bill is half as expensive is not directly supported by the source, so it can probably be removed as WP:OR. - ZLEA _T\^C 01:08, 21 September 2024 (UTC)
