    Will they reprint $2 bills next year as it marks 50yrs since they were last printed?

    It would not be fair to people who don't know the difference between $2 and $20.

    You can’t go by the date on paper money as all denominations are printed yearly on an as needed basis.

    I blame that on the educational services (schools) teaching children (and sometimes adults) in our current adhearence. Simply stated (to quote Ron White) you can't fix stupid......

    What do those people do now when they come across a $2 in circulation?
    The $2 bills are still being circulated.

    I haven't analyzed the production figures, but they do show that the BEP has printed two dollar notes in fiscal year 2025. They printed 26 million production notes in Jan of 2025 and 3.2 million star notes in March 2025.

    They post a selfie holding up their rare $20 misprint with Jerry Springer on the front and Hollywood Squares on the back.

    I have no idea why the Treasury would print more $2 bills after the bombed the first time, but the mint makes a lot of silly coins which don't circulate. So I would not put it pasted them to do something like that.

    I have a friend in the Bar business who goes through $2,000 worth of $2 bills
    Every week. I'm guessing that those are circulating.

    My daughter worked food trucks for a couple years in HS and during summer. They went through stacks of fresh $2 bills. At the weekly food truck rally they had two lines, one for cash and one for CC. Everything was priced $11 or $13 including tax. There must be enough niche markets like that to justify still printing millions of them.

    I their minds (OK, I get it, the Mint & the Bureau are different agencies) they are going to have all these extra funds from not making sense (read: cents) that they might as well dump it into another of their whimsical ideas, why not??? I'm surprised they don't consider something like a $7.50 note, or a $0.175 cent coin.

    The government prints $2.00 bills and coins that’s don’t circulate. The laws will not allow them to be destroyed or melted as the government made a profit or producing them. They don’t want to suffer a loss so they are stored in warehouses. The warehouse fees are paid under a different contract so it doesn’t affect the cost of dealing with non-circulation money. It’s simple government economics.
