Many factors figure into the value of star notes- denomination, series, district, and condition all affect value. Some star notes are quite common and only worth face value in circ condition while others are quite rare.

Your average star is just a replacement note with no added value. However certain factors change that. Fancy serials, errors, low serials, or low run notes do carry a premium. That site John1 referenced is a good place to see what run/quantity your notes came from. Don't forget that condition is everything when it comes to notes. I pass on many a star even if the run is very low unless it is in great shape. I would have to believe in all the notes you have there are some that are worth a moderate premium.

My suggestion is to sit down and sort through those notes and separate the more valuable ones out. Take the rest to the casino and treat yourself to a good time

That depends mainly on what series, denomination, and signature combination (more so than condition).... There are some star notes in only VG condition that you could not buy with a thousand star notes in UNC condition of a different signature combination.
