Hello everyone! So all I know about this bill is that it's from a run of 250,000 and it is in good condition. Can anyone tell me more regarding how rare it actually is and what it might be worth?   Thanks! Michael |

This is a 2017 star note printed in Fort Worth, Texas - Minneapolis (I) with a 250,000 print run. The listed value is $175.00 however that is in CH63 choice uncirculated condition, however it will still have decent value otherwise but I've never explored yet as a side note whether lesser star notes (say worth $10 in CH63 uncirculated condition) might retain what portion of that value when circulated. This is from the latest 22nd edition of Paper Money of the United States book.

Two or three years ago, these were selling at a considerable premium. Most modern collectors already have an example now, and prices have cooled off. Because of condition, it's probably worth about $10-$15. It's definitely not rare. Before selling my collection, I had three uncirculated examples.

Decent find and if it was my find I would put it in a Mylar sleeve and keep it. John1  |

Thanks SteveinTampa and Coinfrog for your added info on current value, very interesting that there is a current over supply of them lowering the price for the moment (mainly the ungraded non uncirculated and without low serial numbers also which are still retaining the value) likely due to its recent year. This is a low print run of 250,000 relative to the others (all over 3 million) and so in the longer term generally I would think those are the ones that would become more difficult to find and pricing may rise, and perhaps picking up low serial number, uncirculated, or graded uncirculated with low serial number might be a good time to do so. On the other hand these specific bills are from a currently recent year and likely many will have been put aside in uncirculated condition, so like Steve says may not really end up as a rarity as much as usual in the past due to its low print run. I still think this is a keeper even circulated, and worthwhile to hold onto and its a good find.

I am a real beginner in currency collection, so please excuse the question: Why is this a STAR note? Am I missing something obvious?

Okay, another look. I see a star after the serial number. Is that it? Why is this important?

These are notes that the Bureau of Engraving and Printing (BEP) uses to replace misprinted and damaged currency before it gets released into circulation. Modern replacement notes look exactly like normal paper money, except that there is a star printed at the end of the serial number rather than a letter. Older types of paper money like Gold Certificates, Silver Certificate, and Legal Tender notes the star was printed at the beginning of the serial number. Some have added value. https://www.mycurrencycollection.co...e/star-notes |
