[QUOTE="Numbers, post: 26745542, member: 11668"]They have indeed been printing a lot of $2 bills lately. The 2017A printings got up to the GB and LC blocks, and the more recent 2021 printings have nearly finished their own LB block. I don't know why $2 bills are becoming more popular, but the Federal Reserve's data shows that the number of Toms in circulation has doubled in the last 15 years. It's the Fed that tells the BEP what denominations to print -- they wouldn't order this many $2 bills if they didn't expect to need them soon. The very delayed timing of recent series changes is a separate issue, affecting lots of denominations. Several denominations of the 2017A series, with signatures from Trump's first term, stayed in production through almost the entire Biden administration. And now all denominations of the 2021 series, with Biden-era signatures, remain in production more than a year into Trump's second term. Does anyone know why the BEP is so slow to implement new signatures lately?[/QUOTE]
