When it comes to currency, the two - dollar bill is the least often seen. Featured here is the current $2 note in crisp, uncirculated condition, which shows one of America's greatest statesmen, Thomas Jefferson and the reverse depicts the scene of the signing of the Declaration of Independence** in 1776. The dollar (ISO 4217 code: USD) is the unit of currency of the United States. The U.S. dollar has also been adopted as the official and legal currency by the governments in a few other countries. The U.S. dollar is normally abbreviated as the dollar sign, $, or as USD or US$ to distinguish it from other dollar-denominated currencies and from others that use the $ symbol. It is divided into 100 cents. Taken over by the Congress of the Confederation of the United States on July 6, 1785, [2] the U.S. dollar is the currency most used in international transactions.[3] Several countries use the U.S. dollar as their official currency, and many others allow it to be used in a de facto capacity.[citation needed] In 1995, over US $380 billion were in circulation, two-thirds of which was outside the United States. By 2005, that figure had doubled to nearly $760 billion, with an estimated half to two-thirds being held overseas, [4] representing an annual growth rate of about 7.6%. However, as of December 2006, the dollar was surpassed by the euro in terms of combined value of cash in circulation.[5] Since then the current value of euro cash in circulation has risen to more than €695 billion, equivalent to US$1.029 trillion at current exchange rates.[6]
