In 1975, the Secretary of the Treasury announced the revival of the $2 bill, timed for release on April 13, 1976, coinciding with Thomas Jefferson's birthday. Preserving Jefferson's iconic portrait, the obverse design remained unchanged since 1928. However, notable updates included printing the treasury seal and serial numbers in green ink, replacing the previous red ink used on United States Notes.
In honor of the United States Bicentennial, the reverse side of the bill showcased a distinctive design reflecting the bicentennial theme. Enthusiasts and collectors seized the exclusive chance to obtain first-day issues of the newly minted 1976 $2 bills, which could be presented at post offices to receive an authentic stamp and postmark, marking the commemoration of the 1976 issue date.
