Hey guys, been snowy here so i started to do some bill hunting. I went to the bank and got 50 dollars worth of dollar bills and ran across this one. I have it listed on ebay now and its at 17.70. I never thought i could make money on a dollar bill but the low serial number is awesome. Im gonna have to start watching my bills closer for star notes and low or funky serial numbers. ::)

That's a great idea! I never thought of doing that. I'm going to start looking more closely at the dollar bills I have. Thanks for sharing that information! :icon_thumright:
 
i have one that has 60666666 and don't forgat about radar notes
 
Learned something again....I had no idea that a low serial number would be worth anything. But, what is a "star note" and a "radar note?"

a star not is a note that has a star on it and a radar note is when the serial number is the same forward as it is backward ;D

Not neccesarally low numbers but also "strings'. i.e.: K 77777777 G etc.

Now I'm wondering, what makes the "star" special? :dontknow:

what about ones that the serial numbers are in a row?1213 ,1214,1215 etc.
 
Now here is something else the other half can complain about. Thanks....Matt
 
Nothing really special about the Star Notes. They are notes that were remade because the original was trashed, misprinted etc.. So they replaced that one with a Star Note. So not really worth any more than face value. Hope that helps. jgas

There are a lot of star notes in circulation, but that doesn't mean that people won't pay for them.

I found a super nice crisp star note, and asked about its value on another forum. Everyone said it wasn't worth listing on ebay...but it still sold for $12.
 
I actually sold the bill for 17.70 I cant beleive it. Im gonna have to start searching for more. Might be more lucrative than detecting in the snow!!! lol
