I was looking at dollar bills instead of coins this time. I felt like I needed a little change in what I look at. I came across this in my wallet. Itā€™s got a star in the number. I donā€™t know what that means, but I decided to hang onto it.

Someone also wrote 25 on the left side. I donā€™t think itā€™s valuable.

Still, I thought it was interesting. Just wanted to share.

I believe that a star means that that serial number was destroyed for some reason and re-issued?

Wildcat is right. Star notes, as they are called, are replacement notes that have been damaged in the making process. Some are very valuable. If it had a really low serial #, or what is called a ladder. Ex; 12344321, or repeater 11112222. It would be worth more. If you find a couple that the #'s are sequential, and in like new condition, they would also have value. Yours is in bad shape, has a tear, and sorry to say, is worth a dollar. Spend it.

I see what you mean, thank you for pointing that out. Still, at least Iā€™m keeping an eye out for these types of things!

Same here. I learn something new every day too.

By the way, I noticed you have an electric guitar in your profile picture. Thatā€™s cool! I play acoustic ukulele myself!

It's neat to collect a few of the smaller denominations. It can be expensive if you start saving the $ 100.00 star notes !
