For sure it's interesting!  I was just curious how much money you might be willing to tie up in essentially duplicate notes with a high face value.

I guess it's cool to find two star notes separated by only 4474 other notes, most likely printed on the same day and circulating in the wild for 8 or 9 years.
I kind of look at it as a cash savings account. As long as you're not paying above face to acquire them, just let them sit until you need the cash. Everyone knows banks are paying about diddly squat on savings and money market accounts, so whats the harm ?
Last year I added up all of my collected currency (face value) that was still redeemable, both large and small size, and I was mildly shocked at the sum of $13,196.

Quote: My point here is just the opportunity cost - wouldn't you rather own things that you feel have real appreciation potential rather than hold a lot of stuff that has no upside at all? I agree with this 110%. But there are paper money collectors that strictly collect from circulated finds and will not pay above face for anything. I collect what I like, and unfortunately for me, the paper money I like is no longer circulating, so there's absolutely zero chance that I will ever find what I like from any bank or cash drawer. To each their own.

Steve - That's well said, a slap upside the head is good every so often.

Maybe, but I don't think Vegas has a line on it.

I had 2 1 dollar star notes, but recently let them go. They were bot circ. finds.

I recently got from a coin dump two $100 star notes (series 2009A) with consecutive serial numbers, but from a large run. I also got a single $100 star note from a small run (run size 320,000, total printed 960,000). All three in nice condition.
I assume these are probably not worth anything over face value, but they seem interesting so will probably hold them for a while - depositing them back earns no interest anyway! And will keep an eye out for other smaller-denomination star notes I get in transactions.

If it were me, I would spend them. Now here's a pair of consecutive stars you don't see everyday.

I guess not! Do tell us how you came to acquire them.

Coinfrog. They were for sale on ebay on the same day from 2 different sellers. So I bought them with buy-it-nows. That was nearly 20 years ago.

Those consecutive $20 Richmond stars are incredible.

I guess lightning CAN strike twice. I found these stars in circulation only 1 day apart.
