The two dollars of Jefferson are very rare, again introduced in 1976 and gradually withdrawn.
Andy Warhol stamped them on April 13, 1976, the day they entered into service, to represent, like the 13 cents stamp, how many were the states of America at the time of the union.
The back of the two dollars represents a picture by Trumbull dated early nineteenth century about the Declaration of American independence
