Iroquois Huey Bell UH-1 Military Army Helicopter Vietnam War Official 2 Bill

This IROQUOIS HUEY Helicopter uncirculated U.S. $2 Bill is Genuine Authentic Legal Tender of the United States, which has been enhanced with beautiful colorized images. The Iroquois was originally designated HU-1 (Helicopter Utility), hence the Huey nickname, which has remained in common use. The official name of the UH-1 is the Iroquois, following the now defunct US tradition of naming helicopters after Native American tribes. In 1955, the US Army asked for a new utility helicopter for use as an aerial ambulance with the Medical Service Corps and went into production in 1959. Among the Huey's greatest strengths was its versatility. It was used as gunships, a troop transporter, for close air support, and for medical evacuation. The colorized images are accomplished through a revolutionary new authentic & genuine colorization process pioneered by The Merrick Mint, creating a collectible work of art.
