  • What is a star note?
    Star notes are used by the BEP (Bureau of Engraving and Printing) to replace misprinted/damaged currency before it goes into circulation. These replacement notes are printed just like normal notes, except there is a star printed in the serial number. On Federal Reserve Notes, the star is where the block letter normally is (the last letter of the serial number). On Legal Tender notes and Silver Certificates, the star is where the prefix normally is (the first letter of the serial number).
    Print Runs
    Star notes are printed in what are called "runs." For the current printing systems used by the BEP, the maximum run size for star notes is 3.2 million notes (100,000 32-note sheets). Sometimes, this many notes are not needed, in which case less are printed. If a partial run is printed, the next run will start at the next closest multiple of 3.2 million. Star notes get their rarity from the quantity printed and released into circulation. Generally, collectors consider runs of 640,000 notes or less to be rare. Many times, collectors refer to star notes by their run number. This is determined by the number range that the star note's serial number fits into

    Hey BigD, , How do you get basically the whole bill in your video and still maintain a very clear closeup? I am trying to make my first video. When I get the whole bill on my 6S phone, the serial number is much farther away. What do i need to do. Thanks for helping out a new collector. If your advice helps me make my first video, I will be glad to make a donation to your channel.

    Just for a really "I can kick myself" moment... Last year i had in my posselyssion a $5 bill (I think) that was in pretty bad shape and it had on it a star on each end of the serial number and 'I spent it'!!! Didn't know anything about star notes then, but i remember wondering if i should spend it (which i did)!!! So just look out for that series. Maybe early 80's.

    Thank you so much for your time and efforts in presenting this numismatic education.
    Curious as to why you didn't include the other type of "REPEATER" such as, ex: 12341234.
    Also no mention of "RADAR" notes, such as, ex: 12344321. Those types can be worth some
    pretty good extra dollars. Now, per chance a ☆ accompanies the above type numbers, much, much more worthy,
    Thank you again. A nice, short and sweet job.

    dollar bills.
    ALL state series “ A” on the obverse.
    ALL have the beginnings of an additional “O” next to Washington’s photo. If Washington’s photo was removed, you would see the complete “O”
    On the obverse under “Washington DC” under the “O” there are thirty-six small “spaces” where
    the gap should be but there are also eight “wide “spaces” and one space with no space and touching.
    On the reverse ALL 45 have the same small number “4” in the right corner.
    As to condition, most are near mint / mint. There are a handful ( perhaps 5) that appear to have been folded in the center. Starting bid: $20,000
