Federal Reserve Orders 0 to 0 $2 Bills in 2025 — Us Mint
The us mint is not printing any new $2 bills in 2025, after the Federal Reserve set its print order at 0 to 0. About 1.8 billion $2 bills remain in circulation, the highest volume in the past 20 years.
That leaves the denomination in the same position it has taken several times before: available, but not replenished. The board also issued zero-print orders in 2013, 2017, 2018, 2020 and 2023, and the bureau printed between 307.2 million and 416 million new $2 bills in 2025.
Federal Reserve 2025 Print Order
The Federal Reserve’s 0 to 0 order means no new $2 bills are scheduled for production this year. The bill still exists in circulation, but the current stock is large enough that the board did not order more.
That stock is larger than the supply of some higher-use bills. There are about 2.4 billion $10 bills in circulation and about 3.7 billion $5 bills in circulation, even though those denominations are used more often in day-to-day cash transactions.
1966 to 1976 Pause
The $2 bill was first reintroduced in 1976 for America’s bicentennial after a printing pause from 1966 to 1976. During that pause, people began collecting the bills instead of using them, and that habit stayed with enough holders to reduce wear-and-tear and the need for replacements later on.
The current pause fits that pattern. The article says collectors and reduced reliance on physical cash have made printing unwarranted, even though the denomination has been printed for 160 years.
Coins and $250 Bill Plans
The U.S. Mint is also releasing special circulating coins and special edition collectible coins with 1776-2026 displayed. The agency will not issue any new pennies, and it will have dimes, quarters and half-dollar coins with new designs.
Separate Treasury Department plans point in another direction entirely: it is looking to produce a $250 bill with President Trump’s face and signature. For readers trying to find a $2 bill this year, the practical answer is that the existing supply remains in circulation, but no new print order has been placed for 2025.
