hi , everybody !!
I am new on this forum , and I hope this is the right place to be.

I receive a $100 bill with a small blue star printed . I don't know exactly what that means . Is a very rare $100 bill ? How much is worth ? Why after long search on all the internet , I don't find not even one similar ?

I need help from somebody how knows something about this $100 bill. Thanks , Ramiro

The star is not printed on the currency, it is from an ink stamper so it is basically just damage.

Welcome to CCF

What you have is known as a chopmark.

Possibly a Counterfeit Detection mark. It's definitely worth $100.

A possible optical illusion.

No way that star was on the paper before that note was printed.

The ink from a stamper will not adhere well to the ink used on currency, that is why it looks like the green is on top of the blue.
