A customer gave me this at work today

Back side

It isn't worth much but it is a near mint condition likely uncirculated $2 bill from 1963

Two dollar bills rock. I've worked two jobs in which I was the only one working the register who knew that $2 bills are a real thing, ha!
- upon further investigation this thing might be worth like $1200 lol
Aren't all $2 bills like this?
- No they are actually much much different. This is one from 2003
  
  They changed the design in 1976 for the bicentennial to have the painting of the signing of the declaration of independence on the back and a new front as well.
  
  It isn't worth much ($10 at most) but it's a neat little historical artifact I thought yall might find interesting. Mainly due to its remarkably well preserved condition, it feels just as crisp as brand new bank notes I get at work in my till sometimes.
  
  Must be a lot of them then. The $2 bills were stockpiled as cash for wages after a possible nuclear war. Americans rejected them so they government supposed they would be less Choosey after an attack. So there must be an abnormal amount that are from the 20th century that are in new condition.
Nice, you interested in numismatics?
Well that's queer...
you can buy perforated sheets of new ones at moneyfactorystore.gov, like Steve Wozniak does
- Yeah but this one is over 60 years old and uncirculated
  
  no more of this old stuff
Same year as the first X-Men comic. Nice.
