American 2 dollar bill

I have an older American 2 dollar bill... however I've noticed that it had a
Red Stamp on it instead of the typical green stamp that other notes have. I
couldn't tell you the exact year since its been left behind at my old home
in a safety deposit box... likely from the 70s or 80s maybe earlier.

Is there anything special about the Red stamped version? Or are they all Red
stamped?

The red seal means that it is a United States Note, which was a
legal-tender note backed by the US Government rather.

These $2 notes were printed for the following Series:
1928-1928G
1953-1953C
1963-1963A

In 1976, the $2 bill was redesigned for the bicentennial. The Signing
of The Declaration of Independence was the new design for the back.
This series of $2 notes (as well as the later 1995 and 2003 series) are
issued by the Federal Reserve (which uses the more common green seal).

Hope this helps,
Geoffrey

cool, thanks for the explanation. Makes more sense now.
