anybody on here collect star notes? i think theyre kinda interesting, and i came across a $20 today which im gonna sell to a coworker.... so correct me if im wrong, but the what ive heard is that when the bill was originally printed off, it was printed incorrectly and had to be reprinted so they add a star next to the serial number to identify it as such. :dunno:

They are not the notes that have a mistake, they are replacement notes. When they do a run of notes they only print so many and they have only one serial #. When they find a note with a mistake it is destroyed but they still need to account for it so the star note run replaces those notes that had a mistake. Of course that make the star note somewhat rare.

Are they worth more than the value printed on them?  ???
YOU ONLY NEED TWO TOOLS IN LIFE - WD-40 AND DUCT TAPE. IF IT DOESN'T MOVE
AND SHOULD, USE THE WD-40. IF IT SHOULDN'T MOVE AND DOES, USE THE DUCT TAPE.

IF YOU CAN'T FIX IT WITH A HAMMER, YOU HAVE AN ELECTRICAL PROBLEM.
