Grifter Posted June 26, 2005 Author Report Share Posted June 26, 2005 Lol, while at work, my friend had to break open a roll of dimes, and when he did, he said like 10 pennies came out of it. He exchanged some of his money for some and he brought some of them home to show me. Someone had filed down the penny so that it was the size of a dime. I just laughed.

Burks Posted June 26, 2005 Report Share Posted June 26, 2005 Not a coin but I'm sure you will enjoy it. At work I was counting the money and noticed an odd bill. Sure enough, $10 star note! I know it isn't worth much but it has been 6 years since I ran across a star note in circulation. Needless to say I replaced it with a normal $10 bill and it is now mine (boss didn't care).

Coinjoe2006 Posted June 27, 2005 Report Share Posted June 27, 2005 I got through my parents and sis's change nearly everyday! Some days I'll just get a few quarters, other its a few dollars worth. And I'd say, that on average, I get about 1 or 2 star notes a month. Just in the past week, I've gotten: Pennies: 1962-D 2 1963-D 1972-D 1974 1975 1976 1976-D 1984( I kept it because it was shiney ) Nickels: 1947-D 1962-D 1964 Dimes: 1967 1972 1977 Quarters: 2 1965 2 1967 1969 1970 2 1974 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Star notes! When I'm filling in for one of the tellers at the bank, I come across so many * notes I don't even look anymore, $1 thru $100. Used to buy all the AU+ looking ones, but after seeing so many I just don't give it a second thought... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grifter Posted June 30, 2005 Author Report Share Posted June 30, 2005 I looked through all of my cash and I found one star note. I'm just wondering, but why did they make star notes? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ætheling Posted June 30, 2005 Report Share Posted June 30, 2005 Nothing yesterday, nothing today and nothing tomorrow. There really is just nothing in change worth searching for. No 2005s yet either, not that i'm that bothered. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coinjoe2006 Posted June 30, 2005 Report Share Posted June 30, 2005 I looked through all of my cash and I found one star note. I'm just wondering, but why did they make star notes? Star notes come from the mint When the original bill is messed up during production, or is used for testing they throw it out. Well, they cant have missing serial numbers, so they reprint the bill with the same serial number, but they take the letter off the end, and add a * there. And all the talk about star notes reminds me of a sad story at the bank one day. I was with my mom and she was cashing my dad's pay check. And in the $100 bills, there were 2 star notes!!!! But I didn't get to keep them So I was sad lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
