Saw another post on these but this was my first one found.
Series 2009 A LC00937089*
I did not even realize that these newer notes were around in 2009
Never even saw one until earlier this year.
Guess these are not lasting very long in circulation. Gee I wonder why ?
Worth any more than a hundred in AU grade ?

They werent around in 2009. They didnt start circulating until late 2013.
They were made in 2009 but obviously not available to the public.

Thanks much for the info and link.
Curious, is the main reason for a reprint because of wear or just damage ?
When I first saw these newer notes I said to myself, they are not going to last very long out there. Very cheap and flimsy looking and feeling etc.

Star notes are replacement notes for ones that have errors or are unfit to be released. They pull the defective sheet out and insert a star note sheet in its place and production continues.
I don't see $100 bills very often so I can't comment on how well they hold up. I agree they look cheap like Monopoly money.

Indian1,
My thoughts exactly on the flimsiness and not being around for long in circulation. Right now I don't think they are worth much more than $100 if at all. With some time they may hold a small premium if you are willing to have $100 tied up in this....especially with the condition you've mentioned and if everyone passes them along since they were/are so common.

I was surprised when I read the comments about the perceived flimsiness of the new $100s so I took a look at one I have and it does seem to be slightly less massive(?), thick, etc. to the touch than say a new $5 or $1.
Is this just perception or is there something to it?

I would like to think it is just perception. I thought the same thing the first time I held a new NextGen $20 ten years ago.
However, a way bills are counted is by weighing them. Perhaps since the NextGen notes have more color on them and thus more ink, perhaps the paper has to be ever so slightly thinner in order to compensate for the added weight. Or something...
I know the new $5s seem to self-destruct as soon as they get to circulation.

Thanks for the star note info. I always thought that these notes
were only printed because the original note/notes were all worn beyond
a certain point. I saw a show many years ago that showed what happens to old worn out notes. Banks and other agencies would turn the notes in
to (I'm not sure, forgot:) the fed. or ? Then they were inventoried etc. and then a call would go out to either an independent trucker or
trucking agency and they were told where to pick up a trailer load.
They were not told of the trailers contents just the destination for drop off. After drop off the old notes were burned.
