Very definitely. For security and bookkeeping reasons, the Treasury doesn't skip over serial numbers of bills that are damaged during production. Instead, a new set of replacement bills is printed with serial numbers that have the same digits as the damaged ones, but with the last letter replaced by a star. That way all serial numbers are accounted for, in sequence with no gaps.
Star notes are worth more than regular bills, depending on their denomination. So many $1 bills are printed that star notes are relatively common in that denomination. On the other hand, high-denomination star notes can be worth a significant fraction more than the value of a comparable standard bill.
The star after the serial number on a 1934 Twenty dollar bill signifies that the note is a replacement or a star note. Star notes are used to replace misprinted or damaged notes before they are released into circulation. They are given serial numbers with a star at the end to differentiate them from regular notes.
Uh, I think you mean "asterisk" It's actually a star. Star notes are printed to replace a bill that was damaged during printing and couldn't be released to circulation. They sell for $2 or $3 depending on condition.
It's actually a star. Star notes are printed to replace a bill that was damaged during printing and couldn't be released to circulation. They sell for $2 to $5 depending on condition and series letter.
Yes, one dollar bills with a star symbol at the end of the serial number can be worth more than face value to collectors. These bills are known as "star notes" and are replacement notes for misprinted or damaged currency. The value can vary depending on the condition and rarity of the star note.
In many cases a "star note" is slightly more valuable than a standard one. The star by the serial number means that the note is a replacement for one damaged before it was released to the Federal Reserve system. These notes are called "star notes." While they're obviously less common than notes without a star, they're actually not unusual; the only reason they're not often found in circulation is that curious individuals and collectors tend to take them out of circulation as soon as they are discovered. Only 11% of any series of notes have a star. The value of the note will be based on the series and its condition.
Damaged or worn out notes and notes that are withdrawn from circulation are returned to the Bank of England for destruction.
Historically, the "star" notes are released into the money supply to take the place of notes that are found to be defective after printing (and destroyed). These place-holder notes maintain the count of notes in a given serial number range. Star notes are considerably more scarce for any given series date than are ordinary notes. But not all will command a premium value above the face value of the bill.
No. Only bank notes up to $100 in value are in circulation.
A "Star note" is a bank note that is reprinted due to a problem with the printing process and the original note being spoiled and not subsequently issued for circulation. A "Star note" is identified by the last digit of the serial number being a "star", hence the name. Many countries use the concept of a "Star note" to replace mishaps of the bank note printing process. The practice of "Star notes" ceased in Australia in about 1971. Star notes are very collectible as are the notes they are intended to replace, should one mysteriously find its way out of the note printing works.
