I recently was going over my Star Note list when I saw there were a couple of $20 notes with a similar S/N. Keep in mind both of these notes were found in circulation within the last month.

$20-Star-Note-Siblings?

Star notes are always nice to find, but IMHO I would spend both of those because of the low condition.

Normally John, I would have to agree with your opinion. Both notes are 3.2 Mil runs with 2 runs each and are, as you say, in low condition. I feel that is the beauty of the pair. Standing alone they are spenders but because they were found in circulation in the same month by the same person I find them to be a rarity. Thanx for your opinion!

That is pretty neat considering they were printed about 9 years ago! I once got two circulated but sequential notes from the same ATM withdrawal. They weren't next to each other and were in different conditions. I kept them for a while but realized they were probably never actually separated and reunited but simply spent at the same time and jumbled when put in the ATM by the bank. Your situation is a bit more rare, I would say.

Question: If you found, say, 6 more like these (not sequential), would you keep all 8?

Yes! I collect ALL Star notes. I thought this was quite interesting. I guess not to everyone?

For sure it's interesting! I was just curious how much money you might be willing to tie up in essentially duplicate notes with a high face value.

More than most but less than many.

I guess it's cool to find two star notes separated by only 4474 other notes, most likely printed on the same day and circulating in the wild for 8 or 9 years.

I kind of look at it as a cash savings account. As long as you're not paying above face to acquire them, just let them sit until you need the cash. Everyone knows banks are paying about diddly squat on savings and money market accounts, so whats the harm ?

Last year I added up all of my collected currency (face value) that was still redeemable, both large and small size, and I was mildly shocked at the sum of $13,196.

My point here is just the opportunity cost - wouldn't you rather own things that you feel have real appreciation potential rather than hold a lot of stuff that has no upside at all?

I agree with this 110%.

But there are paper money collectors that strictly collect from circulated finds and will not pay above face for anything.

I collect what I like, and unfortunately for me, the paper money I like is no longer circulating, so there's absolutely zero chance that I will ever find what I like from any bank or cash drawer. To each their own.

Steve - That's well said, a slap upside the head is good every so often.

The more I think about this, the more I think the odds of finding something like this are near astronomical.

Maybe, but I don't think Vegas has a line on it.

I had 2 1 dollar star notes, but recently let them go. They were bot circ. finds.
