The star signifies that it is a replacement bill for one that was destroyed earlier. Any denomination bill can have a star in its serial number. These bills are rarer than non-star

bills and can be of value to a collector (greater than face value). But like most collectibles condition is everything for coin and paper money collectors. To get top value for the bill it must be in crisp,

torn,

folded condition or like new. If the bill is circulated with tares, folds, dirt, etc... the value goes down significantly and may only be worth face value as a normal 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.

Most US bills don't have stars, regardless of denomination. A star is placed next the serial number only if a bill is a printed as replacement for one that was damaged during production and before being released. Serial numbers are used for security and record-keeping so the Treasury doesn't want gaps in the range of numbers used for a particular printing. When a bill or bills is damaged, a new set is printed with the original serial numbers but with a star replacing one of the letters.
