Yes, there are two-dollar coins in various currencies around the world, but it depends on which currency you are referring to.
If you’re asking about the United States , the US does not have a two-dollar coin in general circulation. There have been unsuccessful attempts to introduce a dollar coin in the past. The US did mint gold quarter eagles ($2.50) from 1796 to 1929 and also minted $3 and $4 gold coins in the 19th century.
However, other countries do have two-dollar (or equivalent) coins:
- Canada: The Canadian two-dollar coin is widely known as the “Toonie”,
- United Kingdom: The UK has a £2 coin, [according to Wikipedia].
- Australia: Australia has had $2 coins since 1988.
- New Zealand: New Zealand has used $2 coins since 1990.
- Eurozone: The Eurozone countries (those using the euro) have €2 coins in circulation.
- South Africa: South Africa has a 2-rand coin.
- Hong Kong: The Hong Kong two-dollar coin is the third-highest denomination coin of the Hong Kong dollar.
In summary, while the US does not have a commonly circulated two-dollar coin, many other countries do.
