Novelty currency featuring the likeness of the former U.S. president affixed to a United States two-dollar bill has become a collectible item. These bills, while using genuine currency as a base, are altered with an image, often a sticker or print, depicting the individual. They circulate as legal tender, although their value primarily resides in their collectibility rather than their face value.
The appeal of such items stems from a combination of political interest and numismatic curiosity. Possessing or gifting these bills can be viewed as a statement of political affiliation or simply as an amusing keepsake. Furthermore, the novelty currency connects to historical precedents of individuals personalizing or modifying currency for various purposes, ranging from political messaging to artistic expression.
