Have opportunity to look for something interesting in 1/2$ bill notes from the bank, and have few questions. How original packing (100 notes) looks? I mean packing made there they were printed. In our banks I saw notes sealed in plastic for 100 notes in each. Is there a chance to find star notes in them? Or star notes are packed separately? Is this business has any sense?

So if the package of notes is a original mint wrapped package, then I would think they will all be star notes or they will all be regular notes, since it was cut from a newly printed sheet. If its a bank put together package, then yes some could be replacement notes. Report this Post to the Staff
lettow Pillar of the Community United States 742 Posts	Posted 03/20/2018 11:46 am No, that is not correct. Star notes are used to replace notes that were damaged or misprinted. They are replaced in sheet form if the defect is detected before cutting. In this case there may be star notes in a pack of regular notes. If the defect is noted after cutting, the entire pack of notes containing the defective one is replaced with a pack of star notes. Report this Post to the Staff

lettow Pillar of the Community United States 742 Posts	Posted 03/20/2018 4:17 pm No. There may be no star notes in a pack of 100 if there were no defective notes in that sequence. There may be 5, there may be 10 if they had a bad day at the BEP. Report this Post to the Staff

A pair of notes, like these, were usually replaced with star notes. Report this Post to the Staff
