I have about 75 star notes, all found in circulation. I count the registers at work and pull most of them from there. I do gwt some strap hunting.
I cash my ck at my main bank, in all 1's, search them, tradethem for bill bills at work, and then get 5s and 1s from second bank, search them, and then soend them. And all my tellers save"funny money" for.me too, whicb always helps

I have yet to fimd a $50 or $100 star note in the wild.

Ghostrider, if you have some cool coins (worth about $100 altogether) that you're willing to trade to me for my $100 star note, private message me, and we can probably work something out.
That way, we're both happy

Both the offer and my response to the offer in the previous thread are gone. Author of offer either didn't have sufficient postings b/c in any event he was unable to receive a pm.

In any event I'll keep trying. No biggee.

My star note set, all from circulation, is complete except for the $100.

The $2 I have is very nice, otherwise they're all fairly pedestrian. I have two $50's, but just one $20, even though I get my ATM withdrawls in $20's. I've probably handled fifty to one hundred times as many $20's as $50's.

I've got a pile of ones.

- I also have a note that has an X at the end of the serial number. What is that? I've been meaning to ask.

The X is just the serial number advancing down the alaphabet. Every time the numbers start over at 00000001, thenletter changes. It starts with A. Then B and so on. They don't always make it that far through the alphabet, so some people like to collect the collect these later notes with the letters V, W, X,Y. I'm not sure what kind of premium they could bring.
Z is only used on experiment notes and specimen notes.thats alm I know.

I usually have found Star notes and I must say most of them from the bank. I will say $2 and $1 Bills but I bought many packs of 100 to find em. My best find from the bank was a pack of 1976 Bicentennial Star notes that a teller saved for me. I have bought a few packs online only when I find a decent price. As far as the larger bills I have found 1 $50, 4 $5 and 2 $20 Never a $100. Bought A red seal one off of ebay and paid for it! he he Oh Well live and learn I always say. It wasn't that much but enough. Maybe in another 20 years I might break even. But I wanted it! Does really look nice though.

goldenchest you are partly correct the z use to be used on silver certs. I happen to have one that starts out with a z. also the only letters we do not use today are o and z.

I have some I can let go. I also have the $100 star note (circ)I can let go.

I once asked a teller to watch for star notes for me. When I went back she had about a load of them. I picked up 2 $100, 2 $50 and some others that looked decent.

The only star note I have ever found through all my looking is one I bought that is a framed and mounted uncirculated $1 star note from the Fort Worth mint. If I didn't love $2 bills so much, it would easily be my favorite bill.

Just went to the bank the other day and was shopping when I was going to pay and noticed I had a $20 dollar Star note. Of course I didn't spend it. Was in excellent shape with only a light fold in it. Still going to keep it.

I live in Switzerland and for my holidays in New York I went to my bank and changed Swiss Francs into US Dollars.
At home I discovered, that I got 10 uncitculated 2009 10 Dollar Starnotes. I was really happy about this find.

Totally busted my budget, but came across a $100 at work today. One of the YN I converted at work, noticed it and told me. 2006 $100 HL 29215821* Id grade it at XF-40. Moderate center fold and some counting crinkles. And a counterfeit pen mark :-( Still my first star circulation find in a large denomination. And only,lol. From a run of 1.92 mil so not rare but still immortalized in my collection of firsts.
Also found a $1 2003A - k00123893* while counting drawers this morning. Which is from a run of 640k. It unfortunately has a big rip on the left side. From the bottom, all the way past the top district number.. still I saved it as I've never let a star note slip past me.
Still a good day in my book. Now to re-figure my bills,
