I didn’t believe Wiki, just used it as a jumping off point. I didn’t say you Id’d it as the signing, just that a lot of people do. I have at least one two-dollar bill. Very occasionally I get them (or sometimes that dollar coin witht what’s her name on it), as change.

Don’t believe anything your read in Wikipedia : ) . Also, for the record, I didn’t say in my post that it was the signing. Also, where do I find a $2 bill?

Per Wikipedia:
John Trumbull’s famous painting is usually incorrectly identified as a depiction of the signing of the Declaration. What the painting actually depicts is the five-man drafting committee presenting their work to the Congress. Trumbull’s painting can also be found on the back of the U.S. $2 bill.
