LeoS Valued Member United States 174 Posts	Posted 08/15/2014 6:18 pm Can someone provide a general reference for star notes and what to keep. I know lower serial #s are best. I know mintage is best <1million, even better at <320k. I am talking about regular (large head) current bills. I am keeping everything, and don't mind doing so, but seems that I may end up with a small fortune! If you were out and about and got a $10 2004A star note, would you be excited right away (in average condition), or would you pocket it to look up later, or would you just respend it? Thanks everyone! Report this Post to the Staff

WheatBack Pillar of the Community United States 2850 Posts	Posted 08/15/2014 7:09 pm I usually keep them until I can look up the amount printed and if it's a high run I'll normally let it go unless its still crisp and uncirculated. Also, if it's really worn then I usually don't even bother. Report this Post to the Staff
Buddy Rest in Peace United States 7075 Posts	Posted 08/15/2014 8:22 pm I'd probably keep a few of the best ones. I generally don't release the others back into the wild. I take them to my local club and spend them there. Report this Post to the Staff

I guess for now, just keep em all.. When I need the cash, i'll start with higher denoms that are higher runs and work my way down. Report this Post to the Staff
