I have been looking for a $100 star note. Does anyone happen to know if there is such as animal.
By dream is to find one (through circulation or happenstance) that I would put under glass irregardless of the condition of said bill.
I have star notes in $1, $5, and $10. I would really like to complete a sweep and put them into some suitable display frame for the wall in my office.
Has anyone ever accomplished the sweep that I have in my dreams? I'd really like to know.
Please let me know how hard my dream is.

Ghostrider, If you are talking about modern U.S. Bills, then it can be accomplished easily. If you are missing a $100 star note, you could always try to find one at the bank, perhaps ask your local casino if they have one and exchange for it at face value, or simply purchase one off ebay. Currently I am trying to complete a set of 1928 Numerical FRN star notes from Chicago from $5 to $100 and I am one note off. Also trying to complete a 1934 Chicago star note set FRN and am missing the '34 series LGS $100 star note. Will post when I complete both of them. |

Not that hard to find. Looks like you also need a $2,$20 and a $50 to complete your set.Good luck with your set. John1  |

I haven't been looking myself lately for the $2 and $50 star note to complete my set, but $100 star note I happened to came across it not long ago. That said, I haven't seen a $2 bill in circulation for a while, or if there's any available from regular change.

The teller at the bank where are LCC meets just asked me yesterday whether $100 2006 Star note had any extra value. I told her to save it if she could afford it!

I just happen to have one on hand right now. It's probably going back to the bank at some point though - I can't just sit on a $100 bill in average condition, even if it does have a star.

I never thought of asking at the bank if they had any star notes. I always thought that I had to go in there and keep asking for certain denominations until I got what I wanted.
That's what I did in order to get the ones that I do have.
Woodford you have given me another avenue of collecting. I never thought of trying to put together a star note collection in a particular series. I think that first I'm going to complete my "now" random series and then continue to concentrate on putting together on in a complete series.
I would imagine that completing one year series would be a challenge. Out of complete curiousity is there any value difference between date series or banks?
I have been approaching the whole idea of accumulating old bills on a random basis. Really on the basis of what happened to fall into my hands.

 I literally just looked at the 2 $100 bills I have and this was one of them so it's probably not too rare. It's too big of a bill for me to save though. |

I just created a new thread about this... I came across 3 x 2006 $100 Star notes today (they were in sequential order, but not perfectly sequential because a few notes were missing in between).

Yeah J-Win that would be a spender for sure. For modern big head bills unless it is in a pcgs or pmg holder in 67PPQ condition or above OR It has a fancy serial number like 22222222, full radar, etc, It is generally a spender. If it has a fancy serial and it is in top notch condition (GEM+ condition), then there is a very nice premium on it.
Ghostrider, there is countless ways collectors do their collecting. There are plenty of common ways the general community collects and then some people get really creative in their collecting. For example I once saw someone who specifically collected VERY Low quality grade notes in PCGS Holders. They would be rated from 1 to 4 and it was just really interesting to think what the note went through all these years.
Now Yes the date series and bank of issue most definitely affects the value and rarity of the note.
For example lets look at the 1928 Numerical $5 FRN note.
They printed 12,320,052 of these notes from the Chicago district and an UNC example of such note is estimated at $235
Now if we look at, $5 bills 1928 from Kansas City, There were 4,480,800 bills printed with an UNC example estimated at $450
So it most definitely matters which Federal reserve bank these notes came from. It could Greatly affect the value!

I can't just sit on a $100 bill in average condition I saw one sell for $125 on ebay. It wasn't anything special, just a star note. No special date or serial number. The guy even had a greater than 10 day handling period, so surely you can sell yours for at least 25 over face and make money on them. |
