I read that the two dollar bill Series 1976 has hidden images that spell out USA in Morse Code. I don't what those images are but I find most curious are the mosquito looking thing and the devil-wolf blowing smoke. Also one man has such dark skin that he appears to be African American. Do you see what I see?
The back is based on John Trumbull’s painting entitled Declaration of Independence (1817). The images you mention don't look like that in the painting. I suspect those happened in the mint process..

Thanks Dav, thank God I'm over my brief infatuation with that two dollar bill. It does bring back a sweet memory of childhood. I think I was about 6 yrs old when we took a family vacation to visit my nana in Massachusetts. My Uncle Jack handed me and my brother a two dollar and told us to share it. We through such fits that he took the bill , ripped it in half and then he gave us each a half. Funny thing is that We were pleased with that. Just seemed more fair.
Great memories! I have a couple really old ones, but they aren't in great shape and not worth much. Fun to look at though..
