Basic Design:

Rarity and Value:  These are scarce notes. It is rare for a bank to have more than one or two survivors for this low denomination. The reason for the low rate of survival is that very few were printed. Two dollar bills have often been considered unlucky in past generations. So if you had one then you spent it quickly. Collectors call these “lazy deuces”. Don’t forget to check the serial number. Number 1 notes always sell for nice premiums.

Current Market Analysis:  Most notes from Alabama are heavily circulated. This state has always been underprivileged economically, so people couldn’t afford to hold currency just for the sake of saving it. Any note in XF condition or better should sell for a nice premium. First charter notes and denominations higher than $20 are scarce. Most towns in Alabama are small. You really can’t say that notes from small towns are rare, but if you get the right mix of grade and rarity, then you have a great find. Notes from Alabama have been more popular in years past, but there is still a chance for the good stuff to sell for thousands of dollars.
