The serial number on a dollar bill and other currency refers to the note series, and the Federal Reserve bank that issued the note. The serial number is used to keep track of currency.
The value of a five dollar bill is five dollars. It's not clear what you mean by "consecutive serial numbers." If you mean that the bill's serial number looks like "12345678" or something, then a collector might be willing to pay a small premium for it as a curiosity. If you mean that you have two or more five dollar bills where the serial numbers are consecutive, they're worth five dollars each, period.
A star next to the serial number on any US bill means that the original note with that number was damaged in printing, and the star note is the replacement.
There are many numbers on the dollar bill. The most prominent ones are the amount of the currency. There is also a row of numbers on the front and back of the bill that contains the individual serial number for that particular bill.
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 replacement for the destroyed bill. Having a bill with a star on it can mean that it's worth a couple dollars more unless it's a collectors item.
Nothing special. It just means that the serial number sequence wound pretty far down. There was a long stretch of time when there was no change in the offices of the U.S. Treasurer or Secretary of the Treasury, so mountains of $1 bills were printed in the same series. It nearly exhausted the set of possible serial number / letter combinations.

It has no particular meaning. Serial numbers are counters and a security feature; they're printed sequentially so your bill is simply one of many billions.

A star at the end of a number means that at one point in time, there was a dollar bill with the same number on it. Because of resons unknown, the government burned the dollar bill, and made another dollar with the same number, adding the star.CorrectionHere is the statement from the US Bureau of Engraving and Printing regarding star notes: When an imperfect note is detected during the manufacturing process after the serial number has been overprinted, it must be replaced with a new note. 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.
