Post Your Star Notes!

Nice find Skippy.

Outstanding!

Always fun to find them even when they are "common."

Not in the near term, it seems to only change the sequencing so the notes wont be consecutive serial numbers in a strap. The star notes will be printed with their traditional printing equipment when needed to replace imperfect notes according to this:

The United States Currency Program's (USCP) is modernizing bank note production equipment that will result in nonconsecutive sequencing of new straps of US currency. Currently, new straps contain one hundred bank notes with the serial number on the first banknote ending with "01", and the serial number on the last banknote ending in "00". "Star" notes replace sequential serial numbers on dollars that are removed because they do not meet quality standards. The USCP's new equipment will not produce the star notes that replace imperfect notes in a strap of Federal Reserve notes. However, star notes will continue to be produced by traditional banknote production equipment until further notice.

Found a $1 bill. B10318816* Series 2013. A little worn but still kina cool to have

There is a site that keeps track of all of the duplicate 2013 B stars and gives you a notification if someone has found the duplicate note. Although the one Copperhead66 found would not be included (as only the first three runs were duplicated and his is from run #4) I figure for future reference it may be of interest.

Got a couple of 2013 B star notes at the bank today but not the ones everybody gets excited about. Not 100 % perfect but they are crisp, no folds or stains. Keep or spend?

Nice finds!
