It has been stamped after leaving the BEP and would be hard to say who or why they did it. John1 Edited by John1 07/01/2012 07:15 am Report this Post to the Staff

People get stamps and stamp pads and mark everything including banknotes. You'll find happy faces, initials, all kinds of stuff. Report this Post to the Staff

puchianu70 New Member United States 2 Posts	Posted 07/01/2012 2:59 pm i know that stamps like the 2 triangle are very common to this bills , but the star is something different , which was there from beginning , and is print not stamp like the 2 triangles . I see the same kind of star printed on the $1 bill from 1878 , with the black eagle . Can have some connection ? Thanks , DANIEL Report this Post to the Staff
biokemist6 Bedrock of the Community United States 12437 Posts	Posted 07/01/2012 4:14 pm The star is a post-printing ink stamp, it was definitely not done by the BEP. There is no connection at all to the 19th century Black Eagle notes, the star on those notes indicated a replacement note and that star will always be next to the serial number. The stars currently used for replacement notes are much smaller, of a different shape, and always printed with green ink- bright blue ink is not currently used on any US currency.
