So, I'm at a place called lion country safari and I got money to feed some giraffes.

I looked at the bills my mom gave for anything special.

The last note happened to be my first star note

I still haven't found a single star note in my wilderness. I've never seen current star notes,making me doubt they even exist.

So when people here say some star notes aren't keepers, I don't understand them

What denomination was it? Pics?
Rest in Peace

Yipee!

All my star notes are circulation finds. It takes awhile, but they do show up from time to time.

May your good luck continue.

It's a $1 dollar bill. Folded and a little dirty but i'll take it

I'd take a picture but it's at the bottom of a box full of other coins.

What is really nice is that this note is one of 320,ooo printed. To my way of thinking you bill is worth more that face no matter what condition is it in.

I don't think that there is print run much small and 160,222, but it beats a run of over 3 million or so.

A honestly good find.....................

Keep this site handy for future finds.
