A 'Star' note has a Star in the serial number. It replaces one of the
letters in the serial number. These notes are printed with a separate range
of numbers and are used to replace notes either damaged in the manufacturing
process or otherwise not deemed acceptable for circulation. As such, these
notes represent about 0.1% or less of the total number of notes in
circulation. I expect that others can expand on this definition.

Drew-
Thanks for the heads-up. I'll go ahead and put this with my $38 hoard
of
stars, and just feel lucky to own one at all! Mike


Thats the way to look at it.
At the very least,your great grandchildren might be happy someday that
you
had the foresight to stash them away.
I know if my great grandfather has the foresight to stash away a couple
rolls of 20 cent pieces - Worth 20 cents at the time,now well over $1,000
each - I would be tickled pink.
