Not really a currency collector but I keep every star note I find.

Please explain why? These will never have any appreciation potential.

Because I think they are cool. Lol

I don't run across them very often. Maybe a couple times per year.

Always collect what you like. Did you look up the runs for a low run?https://www.mycurrencycollection.co...notes/lookup

Randomly collecting star notes just becomes a money loose with inflation. Especially these as they aren't uncirculated

Cool finds. I keep all of the $1 star notes I find in circulation but that's where the novelty ends. I keep them in a wallet in my underwear drawer. I counted them the other day and I had $113 in ones. The ATMs I typically use only dispense $20 notes, or maybe it's because I usually withdraw $100.

You could use that money to add something nice to your main collection

Nice finds, Half and SteveinTampa still has the bug I see. Star Notes are fun to collect or find, but should just know that not all have value beyond their face value as some beginners might think.

The info below is the basics of star note rarity and may help someone to decide whether its worth holding on to for a personal collection or to perhaps sell at some point. There is also the book Paper money of the United States that can give some general values for star notes or currency in circulated or uncirculated conditions https://www.amazon.com/Paper-Money-.../0871845229/ although you can also check places like ebay sold listings (not whats unsold and listed as it may never sell for the price), as sometimes demand vs supply changes or casual collectors buy things.

However notes may also have a low serial or even have an error or fancy serial number on them so even common star notes may add to appeal when something else is also off about a note. https://www.pmgnotes.com/news/article/11904/

In summary - the order of star note rarity, most to least:

1. Star note print runs of 640,000 notes or less that happen to be the only print run for a specific series/denomination/FRB combination AND it is an older series.

2. A similar star note print run as above, except printed for a more recent series.

3. Star note print runs of 640,000 notes or less, where there are other star note print runs also in the FRB.

4. Star note print runs of more than 640,000 notes. The larger the print run, the more common the note is.

Also the condition can be important, people are less likely to be interested in circulated notes that are common vs uncirculated for example.

Although your focus is star notes found in circulation, if you don't mind the premium the US Mint adds, they have sold sell paper currency from all 12 Federal Reserve Banks. Nice product although it isn't something I would say is a must have. But these uncirculated bills will at least promise accruing a premium IF you hold onto them long enough. Also each Federal Reserve Bank will produce different amounts of the paper currency denomination. But usually in the millions or even billions. The main attraction is these are uncirculated and have a greater chance of gaining a premium (albeit modest) than an uncirculated note.
