Coinjoe2006 Posted December 14, 2005 Report Share Posted December 14, 2005 I was just wondering how many people out there actually collect Star notes?? I know that I sure do, and with a passion. I think its fun, but very expensive at times haha. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Burks Posted December 14, 2005 Report Share Posted December 14, 2005 I collect all of them I come across. Had a chance to keep a newer $20 star note but it was in very bad conidition. If it wasn't missing so much of one of the corners I would have kept it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coinjoe2006 Posted December 15, 2005 Author Report Share Posted December 15, 2005 one day at the bank, I was with my mom. She cashed my dads pay check, and we got 2 consecutive $100 bills, but we couldnt keep them lol. My mom managed to get a $50, but she gave it to my grandma for her to keep. I have countless start notes tho! I love them, they are addicting lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trantor_3 Posted December 15, 2005 Report Share Posted December 15, 2005 ok, maybe a dumb question, but what's with the stars? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tabbs Posted December 15, 2005 Report Share Posted December 15, 2005 If during the production a flaw is discovered after the serial number has been printed on a US dollar bill, that note will be removed, and then replaced by such a note. These "replacement" notes have a star at the end of the serial number, where you would usually find a character. See the examples shown above. And no, I don't have any.

tabbs Posted December 15, 2005 Report Share Posted December 15, 2005 Thanks for the nice offer! But while I find many of the discussions in the Banknote Forum interesting and/or educational, I do not actually collect notes. I just have about $40 in "paper" here, left over from my last trip. Will spend them in the country of origin in March ... Christian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SlavicScott Posted December 16, 2005 Report Share Posted December 16, 2005 I have never been to an ATM that gives out $100 bills. Harrah's Riverboat Casino, Metropolis Illinois used to give out the $100's in the ATMs, when I lived down there about 5-6 years ago. Haven't been back (to the casino) since I moved up here, so I don't know if they still do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sir Sisu Posted December 16, 2005 Report Share Posted December 16, 2005 I was just wondering how many people out there actually collect Star notes??... I do not go out of my way to get them, but I saved them if I received them in change: I believe I have a couple more, but I have not scanned those.

Christian Thank you Christian Now, that new note, with the star, does it have the same serial number as the one that was taken out of circulation, or does it get a new serial number?

Brett Posted December 18, 2005 Report Share Posted December 18, 2005 It would have the same serial number. The old note is destroyed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Burks Posted December 18, 2005 Report Share Posted December 18, 2005 That's a nice $20 note you have there Sisu. A bit wrinkled but still nice. I'm not good with notes but what series is that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whohah Posted December 18, 2005 Report Share Posted December 18, 2005 No, Brett, the stars do not have the same serial number as the note it replaces. The stars have a separate numbering system. It "may" have the same prefix letter [if it is a Federal Reserve Note] as the Fed Res Bank of the replaced note; however, that ain't always so. It is possible to find a star in a fresh pack of notes with an entirely different Fed Res bank letter & name as the rest of the notes in the pack. On other types of currency [silver certs, etc.], the prefix letter is replaced with a star. On Type I small sized National Currency, if a replacement was necessary, they actually did reprint the note with the 'same' serial number. Here's the kicker, the serial numbers were put on BY HAND!! Usually the only way these can be detected is by a slght variance in the placement of the number. Such would look sort of 'wobbly' by being slightly skewed from its proper place. My reference for this is Huntoon's book on small sized Nationals (1929 to 1935). HTH... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whohah Posted December 18, 2005 Report Share Posted December 18, 2005 Hello, Burks! Sisu's $20 is a Series of 1928, the very first of the Small sized Fed Res notes. Quite a catch, I'd say... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NetJohn Posted February 13, 2006 Report Share Posted February 13, 2006 Anyone here want to trade $1 star notes? I'm going for a printing collection and have lots of duplicates to trade to fill some of the holes in the collection. So, anyone else want to trade $1 stars?

bobbycoin Posted February 14, 2006 Report Share Posted February 14, 2006 I trade star notes when I have extras... I dont have any extra right now. And to comment on Whohahs explination of a star note earlier it would seem he is correct. I was also under the impression (as Brett) that Star notes were released with the same serial as the note it replaced, as it turns out, they do not. This opens the possibility of having a set of notes with the same serial, one star, one not. http://money.howstuffworks.com/question703.htm -Bobby Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
