Description
A Series 2013 United States Two Dollar Bill featuring Thomas Jefferson on the obverse.

It exhibits standard circulated wear including a prominent center crease.
Key Features
Low face value; features Thomas Jefferson; includes the green Treasury seal and black Federal Reserve seal; standard collectible for novice numismatists.
Authenticity Indicators
High confidence. Correct color-shifting ink (if applicable to era/denom), fine line detail in the portrait, specific paper texture with red and blue security fibers visible under magnification. The serial number font and spacing are consistent with BEP production.
Flaws to Note
Significant vertical center fold; multiple light corner creases; slight discoloration and handling marks from circulation. These flaws prevent it from having significant numismatic premium.
Selling Guide
Where to Sell
Spend at local retail (face value) or sell on eBay/Mercari as part of a larger bundle/lot of consecutive or star notes.
Selling Tips
Do not sell this individually online; shipping costs and platform fees will exceed the profit. It is best used as currency. If selling as a collectible, look for 'Star Notes' (noted by a * in the serial) or unique patterns (fancy serial numbers). This particular bill has no such rarity.
