A "star" note is used to replace the imperfect note. Reusing that exact serial number to replace the imperfect note is costly and time consuming. The "star" note has its own special serial number followed by a star in place of a suffix letter.The serial number of the imperfect note that was removed is not used again in the same numbering sequence.

What does the serial number on one dollar bill supposed to mean and how do you know if it has a misprint?
The serial number is simply a sequential number telling in what order the bill was printed with respect to others. It also includes a letter prefix indicating what Federal Reserve district the bill was printed for. Common serial number misprints include: > A stuck counter. There are two counter wheels (kind of like old-fashioned car odometer wheels) that rotate to print the numbers on each part of the bill. If one sticks, the two serial numbers will not be identical. > Inverted or back-sided serial numbers. Serial numbers are printed as part of a separate pass through a press. If the paper is accidentally fed upside down or backwards the numbers will not appear in the usual places. Both of these errors can be worth over $100.

Is my 1977 US 100 dollar bill with a star at the end of the serial number worth a lot of money?
If it's a modern bill it may be worth a bit more than $100, but not a lot* more. Some people collect so-called "star notes" so you might get 5 to 10 percent above face value for it, more if the bill is uncirculated or with an older (e.g. pre-1970) date.The star at the end of the serial number means that when the original bill was printed it had a defect in the serial number and had to be destroyed. Because no two bills can be printed with the "same" serial number the new bill printed in its place has a star at the end to signify that it's a duplicate of the destroyed bill.FWIW there's no such word as "alot". There's a lot and allot, but they mean very different things.
