Has anyone heard of a new $1 U.S. bill that's not green and black? Someone has asked me about this from the Land Down Under and I haven't heard of such a bill. Anyone?

There's a federal law forbidding the change in design of the $1 bill so there wont be a new $1 bill coming out anytime soon.

I asked  It was not that it was a different colour to green and black. I thought I had heard that they added extra colour or toning to part of the note. Maybe as a security feature or something. Has there been any modifications over the past couple of years? |

I haven't heard anything. All of our bills $5, $10, $20, $50, $100 now have extra features and some color but no changes in the $1

A star note is a replacement issue. When sheets of bills are damaged during the printing process, they are replaced with notes that have the exact same serial numbers as the damaged ones but the addition of a star next to the number to denote a replacement note. Star notes generally carry a premium and it can be quite high with certain year/denomination/Fed Reserve combos.

Star notes continue to be printed and will be around as long as we have paper money.

Web Notes were a now-discontinued experiment in using a different method of mass-producing low denomination notes.

The sheets of star notes do NOT have the same serial numbers as the notes they replace. |

You are correct Conder, I should have been more careful about that  http://www.moneyfactory.govStar Notes
When an imperfect note is detected during the manufacturing process after the serial number has been overprinted, it must be replaced with a new note. A "star" note is used to replace the imperfect note. Reusing that exact serial number to replace the imperfect note is costly and time consuming. The "star" note has its own special serial number followed by a star in place of a suffix letter.
The serial number of the imperfect note that was removed is not used again in the same numbering sequence.Edited by biokemist6
