Reintroduced in 1976 to celebrate the United States Bicentennial. This series changed the reverse design from Monticello to the signing of the Declaration of Independence. It is the first series to feature the $2 denomination as a Federal Reserve Note.

Estimated value

$2 - $15 (Value depends on condition, serial numbers, and presence of cancellation stamps; most circulated notes from 1976 are worth face value).
