MadMortician Valued Member United States 397 Posts	Posted 01/31/2013 01:04 am It was a $20 I was given in change at the store today. Sadly, the serial number was just a jumble, and the note was badly folded down the middle and was missing a corner the size of a nickel. Threw it back into circulation. I walked away reassured that star notes CAN be found in the wild! As a random side question: $2 bills come in Star Notes too, right? I know I can find the info tonight, but I'm sick and distracted... so feeling lazy. =) Thanks for putting up with the laziness tonight. LOL Report this Post to the Staff

nationals Valued Member United States 137 Posts	Posted 01/31/2013 2:37 pm Star notes were introduced in 1910. All small size notes printed since 1928 have had star varieties. Report this Post to the Staff
WheatBack Pillar of the Community United States 2850 Posts	Posted 02/01/2013 12:35 am I see star notes in the wild all the time. Could be because I'm a cashier. Like the poster above, a lot of time they aren't worth holding onto unless they're in great condition. Report this Post to the Staff
MadMortician Valued Member United States 397 Posts	Posted 02/01/2013 1:24 pm Yea, like I said this one was in really poor shape and had NO appeal for the serial number. It went back into the wild. I am trying to deal more in cash to hunt through bills. When I dump boxes of coins I always do it in cash... but I might start doing it $2 bills. A few BofAs in my area say while they can't ORDER $2, if I call ahead they will round up any and all $2 in the bank and I can have as many as I want. Report this Post to the Staff
ninamason Pillar of the Community United States 1227 Posts	Posted 02/07/2013 03:49 am Third cashier for a hat trick! I buy lots of star notes out of my drawer. Then--since I have yet to find radars or anything like that--I run the serial through the Star Note registry at mycurrencycollection.com and if it's a print run over 640k, back into the wild it goes.
