I was just looking on a currency forum and one lone person is trying to tell the others who tell him, no he is mistaken and they never existed ....even seemingly non-political parts of history are made to 'disappear', replaced by lies or just not reported.
Quote:"If the American people ever allow private banks to control the issuance of their currencies, first by inflation and then by deflation, the banks and corporations that will grow up around them will deprive the people of all their prosperity until their children will wake up homeless on the continent their fathers conquered."
~President Thomas Jefferson, letter to Treasury Secretary Albert Gallatin (1802)
Seems as if 'ol Tom Jefferson got it exactly correct 211 years ago! Sadly, his warning was not heeded, and his dire prediction has all but completely come to pass! For me, it already has...as for many, many other Americans - and growing FAST!

Peter,
There also was a $2.00 bill issued along with the $5.00 bill in 1963. It had a bit of a longer life, as noted by Wikiperia:

The United States two-dollar bill ($2) is a current denomination of U.S. currency. President Thomas Jefferson is featured on the obverse of the note. The reverse features an engraved modified reproduction of the painting The Declaration of Independence by John Trumbull.
The bill was discontinued in 1966 but was reintroduced 10 years later as a potential cost-saving measure. Today, it is seldom seen in circulation, and as a result, the production of the note is the lowest of U.S. banknotes: under 1% of all notes currently produced are $2 bills. This comparative scarcity in circulation, coupled with a lack of public awareness that the bill is still in circulation, has also inspired urban legends and occasionally has created problems for people trying to use the bill to make purchases.
Throughout the $2 bill's pre-1929 life as a large-sized note, it was issued as a United States Note, National Bank Note, Silver Certificate, and Treasury or "Coin" Note. When U.S. currency was changed to its current size, the $2 bill was issued only as a United States Note. After United States Notes were discontinued, the $2 bill later began to be issued as a Federal Reserve Note. They are delivered in stacks of 100, with a green strap.
