$2 (American Book & Printing Company)
On 19 November 1913 Huerta authorised banks to issue notes in $1 and $2 denominations.
On 10 January 1914 the Banco Minero asked the American Bank Note company for a price for 100,000 $2 notes (among other denominations)ABNC. On 13 January the ABNC replied, stating that as the $2 would be a new issue, it would take time to do the engraving and prepare the necessary platesABNC so the next day the bank told them to go ahead with the rest of the order but not the two pesos noteABNC, letter 14 January 1914.
They therefore went to the American Book and Printing Company, in Mexico City.
