This uncirculated two dollar bill (Serial No. 115894612 A) was flown on-board SpaceShipOne on its X Prize winning flights into space. The first flight (X1) was piloted by Mike Melvill; the second and last flight of SpaceShipOne (X2) was with Brian Binnie at the controls. The bill was signed and dated by both civilian astronauts.
