Star kinda day

Isn't get to go metal detecting today but had to get money from the bank and found a $20 * note. I would say it a good day. Happy Hunting all. WH

Perhaps I am too new to all of this. ..but that looks like a normal 20 dollar bill to me...I see the asterisk after the serial number, but what does that mean?

Star notes are bills that were replaced because of an error, etc when being printed. Pretty good liars poker bill too!

So after reading that I went through my wallet and discovered a 1 dollar bill with the star in the serial number. There is so much stuff to look at on this money any more I have no idea what the error might be. Pretty cool tho!

it just means the original sheet it was printed on was damaged/errored in some way and the star note is the replacement sheet....

I have heard stories about old timers passing away in my area. "Chicago to be specific". Grand or great grand kids inherited a safty depost box with 2,000 in cash. All 1920-30's bills...

Nice $20 star note


I keep all my 1 dollar star notes. Its easy to collect them. I do have some series that were only about 320,000 print runs. They do command a premium depending on the federal reserve bank. The best one so far for me was a near mint 2003A series, New York Federal reserve note. Low series serial number B12 800 001* W - B13 120 000* (sheets). Not sure what the (sheets) means but I do have a note that falls within that range. Listed at $50 CH CU.

I collect oddball stuff like radar notes too when I come across them. I don't buy anything. Just keep what I run across in circulation.

Cool find.

My coworkers' brother works in D.C. printing money (that's the BEST job any printer can get;great money, fantastic benefits and awesome retirement package ).

I should ask about these notes. I've collected coins my entire life as well as silver certificates but I was completely unaware of these bills. I'll have to start keeping my eyes peeled for them.
