gpmajik New Member United States 2 Posts	Posted 03/05/2008 10:26 pm Today I counted 7 different star notes during my 5 hour shift. One of them had a pretty low serial number, and I wanted to save it but I didn't have $20. I did put it in the safe though, so I can have my manager get it out for me if you think its worth keeping. I don't have a picture but I wrote down the serial number: EF00009606* I dont remember what year, but it is new enough that it is colored. not perfect condition, but not bad either. (i am terrible at judging condition so I'm not going to even try and be any more specific than that) Is this considered a low number? In general, how low is "low?" Any thoughts are much appreciated.

Don't have an E series 20 on me but do have 2004A and 2006 and they don't have an E in the front of the serial number. The F means its an ATLANTA note and I would say its definitely a keeper I think 3 zeros in front of a note is considered Low 4 zeros is lower 5 zero is really really low 6 is extremely low and 7 is you might as well for get about finding those in circulation. Well not really forget but figured it would show you how rare it is to find one with 7 zeros. only 9 are made from each district. Make sure you get the note tomorrow definitely a keeper Report this Post to the Staff
Edward J New Member United States 28 Posts	Posted 03/06/2008 3:53 pm Interesting topic. Yesterday I looked on ebay and there are dealers there with numerous consecutive numbers in star notes. How in the heck does he get them? Does the Fed ever send out bundles of stars? That would not make sense to me. Report this Post to the Staff
daviscfad Pillar of the Community United States 4541 Posts	Posted 03/06/2008 4:13 pm Not sure what doesn't make sense to you Edward but hope this helps! Yes The Fed does send out bundles of stars. I have heard of people buying 2 dollar bricks which contain 1000 2 dollar bills and all of them were stars. Just have to go to bank and buy new Straps of BILLS. Fed in general in not collectors they send out whatever the bureau prints and send them. You want receive the straps with all stars hardly any but you could come across some. Sometimes you buy a strap of new bills and dont even find a star. Sometimes you search through a bundle and find several Report this Post to the Staff
