pennrj430 Valued Member United States 132 Posts	Posted 04/28/2010 3:50 pm Hi Everyone, I received this $50 Star Note as Change from my local bank branch this week. It's $50, which is a lot, I'm wondering if this is worth holding onto. Any idea on if it's worth anything or might be worth anything over $50? http://i991.photobucket.com/albums/...IMG_1091.jpg http://i991.photobucket.com/albums/...IMG_1092.jpg Thank you, Ryan Report this Post to the Staff

Gothic Florin Pillar of the Community United States 2541 Posts	Posted 04/28/2010 5:44 pm I found one a couple of weeks ago and posted, but no one responded, so I will respond to your post! I don't think it's worth hanging onto. It's a fairly common run, folded, and has an ink mark on it. It's also not a low serial number (most people look for at least 4 zeros and more like 5) Report this Post to the Staff

Siuol Valued Member United States 273 Posts	Posted 04/28/2010 8:17 pm The stamps on the note are money changing stamps. When you exchange currency usually the money changer will stamp the note with a stamp unique to them that way if the note turns out to be counterfeit it can be traced to them. Also I would spend it.

Namachieli Pillar of the Community United States 2120 Posts	Posted 04/29/2010 2:24 pm its more the serial number that matters than the star. pattern and low numbers like Gothic Florin said. Patterns like 11223344, 12345678, 11111###, 12344321, 00000###, etc. Then again you could always just keep it. The cool thing about mabeys with circulated currency is you can always just hold on to it for a bit, and spend it if you decide its not worth holding onto. Personally I hold on to any oddities I find for this reason. Report this Post to the Staff
