You collect coins so you already know that nothing valuable is easy to find, if it were it wouldn't be valuable. When you search start with the simple common $1 note. Why? Because it is the cheapest and along with the $2 note has the highest premiums for resale since the average collector can't afford to buy a lot of higher denomination notes.
Star notes by themselves are not valuable or rare but people collect them and there is certainly nothing wrong with that, but a star note that is a fancy serial adds value to the note. Fancy serial examples are:
Ladder:
12345678
80706050
54321000
Radar:
98744789 (same serial forward and backward)
Quad Doubles:
22886655 (4 pairs)
Bookend:
83900839
Repeater:
51505150
Low serial:
00003255 (the more zero's the better)
High Serial:
99993976 (cut from a BEP sheet)
Solid:
22222222 (very sought after)
Binary:
23322232 (uses only two digits)
True Binary:
11001001 (just ones and zeros)
Birthday Note:
02141987 (Feb 14th 1987)
Combinations of these have the most value and add a star note to the mix you have really got something:
A12341234* - Repeating ladder star note
H34566543A - Ladder Radar
C96666669C - 6 digit repeating complete radar binary note (complete because the prefix/suffix letters match as well)
L00000123A - Low serial ladder
A00011000A = True binary lowest radar possible with matching prefix/suffix
Hope this helps
