An asterisk (*) in a US banknote's serial number indicates it is a replacement note or star note, printed to maintain overall quality and accuracy in circulation currency. When printing errors occur during production, defective notes are removed and replaced with ones with identical serial numbers but with an asterisk added at the end to distinguish itself as replacement currency. These replacement notes tend to be rare and more desirable among collectors if in excellent condition or part of a limited run.
