Ваши последние купленные LP

Deep. Письмо дошло? А то проблемы с инетом у меня были

А мало кто знает почему ее перестали печатать. Эта купюра - "несчастливая"! Это была номинальная ставка, по-моему на бегах и люди вечно проигрывали...

Не совсем - МАТЧАСТЬ!


The two dollar bill has everything-interesting facts, urban legends, celebrity fans, and myth. Some think it's unlucky, others think its value exceeds two dollars.

Two-dollar bills have been around a little less than 150 years. In that time there have been legends concerning its true value, scarcity, luckiness, and legality. What follows will help separate the myths from the facts.
History of the Two-Dollar Bill

The two-dollar bill has gone through several changes during its history. The story began in 1862 and continues to the present (2009).

   First printed in 1862 with the portrait of Alexander Hamilton on the obverse (front). It was a profile as opposed to the portrait of Hamilton displayed on today’s ten-dollar bill.
   In 1869, Hamilton was replaced by his political adversary, Thomas Jefferson, and the United States Capital.
   Over the years the bill has carried various “note” references (United States Note, Treasury Note, Silver Certificate, Federal Reserve Bank Note).
   Civil War General Winfield Scott Hancock appeared on the obverse of the bill.
   U.S. Treasury Secretary William Windom replaced Winfield in 1891.
   In 1896, the bill became known as the Educational Series. It had symbolic representations of science introducing steam and electricity to manufacturing and commerce. The reverse side of the bill contained portraits of Robert Fulton (steam) and Samuel Morse (electricity).
   1899 saw the bill changed again. This time George Washington appeared surrounded by anthropomorphic versions of agriculture and mechanics.
   Thomas Jefferson returned on the obverse in 1918 with World War I battleship on the reverse of the now large-sized Federal Reserve Note.
   In 1929, the bill reverted to its current size and the reverse was changed to a picture of Jefferson’s home, Monticello.
   In August of 1966, the two-dollar bill was officially discontinued.
   It was brought back to life in 1976 and for the Bicentennial, an engraved version of John Trumbull’s The Signing of the Declaration of Independence replaced Monticello on the reverse.
   Series 1995 was printed in 1996 and 1997.
   Series 2003 is currently the most recent printing.

The bills are printed according to demand. The bills are not in high demand and therefore are published less frequently and in smaller quantities than other bills. (Approximately 1% of all paper bills made are two-dollar bills. In comparison, 48% are one-dollar bills.)

Я не утверждал, что точно "бега" (по-моему!), но какая-то популярная ставка...
