1928D $2 Red Seal United States Note Grades xf+. This is the first “small size” two dollar bill issued by The U.S. In 1928 the size of paper money was changed to the size that we are familiar with today. There are eight different types of 1928 $2 bills. They are Series of 1928, Series of 1928A, 1928B, 1928C, 1928D, 1928E, 1928F, and 1928G. Series of 1928D $2 bills were printed in the later period between January 1934 and July 1944. These dates coincide with when Henry Morgenthau Jr. and WA Julian were in office together. Like all red seal two dollar legal tender notes, the series of 1928D $2 notes features Thomas Jefferson on the front and Monticello on the back.
