I do part time weekend work for a newpaper in my area and they pay me in cash (shhhhhhhhh) Anyway they paid me my usual 240 bucks. One of the 50s they gave me was a star note. The serial wasn't anything unique or unusual, but a 50 dollar star note! Unfortunately I couldn't keep it because I'd rather have the 50 bucks right now. Last night I went out of my way to spend it, so the temptation to hold it wasn't there. That 50 dollar star note is now 3/4 of a tank of gas :( Report this Post to the Staff

braves1914 Valued Member United States 99 Posts	Posted 04/19/2008 6:34 pm My father went to the bank in my hometown last year and actually got 10 $50 stars. They were 8 consecutive ser#, missing the next, then two more. They were all crisp. I have never seen that many in a row before. I wish I knew if the one he was missing was a star or not. Those were the only ones I have seen on the $50 bills. Report this Post to the Staff
