Anything special about this star note? Just wondering if I should hold on to it. I received it from the bank this morning.  |

I don't see anything special other than it's 100 dollars.  Print run of 3.2M, if my research is accurate. |

Your research is correct CK, and I'll add that the star notes for this series reached a high mark of over 6%, which is high by BEP standards.

Steve - Thanks. That IS quite a discrepancy!

Help me understand. So 6% means they replaced 192000 notes with stars for this series? Do they wait and do a massive run of stars, or chunks of x quantity at a time? What happens if/when they have leftover star notes - just recycle them?

Help me understand The BEP printed a total of 1,440,000,000 series 2009 $100 notes, and needed 86,848,000 star notes as replacement (star) notes.....the math is 6.03% |

Wow. Eighty-six million star notes. That's a lot of star notes! Do you have something in a smaller size, please?  |

"Print run of 3.2M" is what I based my math on. Clearly I don't fully understand this process. Oh well.

@kbbpll, when I said 3.2M print run... it was for the JB* block represented by Connor's note above, not the entire printing of stars for the $100 2009 series. Every modern series of notes is broken up into dozens of print runs, designated by the bookending block letters. Collectibility in modern currency always comes down to rarity and condition (well, a vast majority of the time, but there are other market makers out there occasionally). Given Steve's figure of nearly 87M total notes from the $100 2009 series, there are probably better issues to collect if you're looking to (at the very least) beat inflation. That said, if you were to find a note from the JE* block or JB352xxxxx* run, that's a much different story. |

I believe the entire 2009 printing was held for years because of numerous errors the BEP had to sort through and destroy, recently releasing them.
Good to keep a lookout for 2009 Series errors that they missed.

My find today was 4....too bad it is missing the numbers between the first 3 notes... they are like as if they were uncirculated but they are.  |
