The kanji 弐 is a simplified form of 貳, which itself comes from the character 貝 (shell, money) with two horizontal strokes. The strokes represent the numeral "two". The addition of the "shell" radical (貝) to the original form of 二 (two) was for the purpose of preventing alterations. 貳 was used when writing numbers to prevent forgeries.
