I usually go through the till at the store I work at when I close up, and this time I found a personal first! The serial is G05814842*. Nothing amazing in the grand scheme of things, I know, but I am excited!

I find those every now and then. It just requires that you look through your change whenever you get it. I've found about half a dozen of those, along with a $5 star note once. Good luck finding more!
Happy Hunting!

Pics were demanded, and here they are! Again, nothing special, but that doesn't mean I'm not excited anyways! And thank you very much for the links John1!

Congrats on your first star note.

I've pulled thousands of them from circulation over the years (with the help of some friendly cashiers) I'll check to see if they are from a low print run, if they are I'll keep them but if not back into circulation they go...

Nice find. I hope you find many more. There were 6.912 million made, so it is a high run and the condition is kind of rough. Don't know if it'll ever be worth more than face value though.
