$2 bill question (Star note)
OK, I am sure you are all sick of this type question, so please accept my
apologies in advance. I got a 1976 series $2 bill in change and it is my first star note in that denomination. Serial L00024725* and folded but little wear or dirt. Are these a desirable or more collectable note? As of now, I know nothing about star notes (or any other, really) but I look for them and put them in my safe just for fun. At the worst, it is a very small savings account. At the best, I will find an error note or something else unusual while I search. :-) Thanks! Mike |

Mike,
A $2 star, from the I or J district, in the same condition, would bring a premium. But L stars really need to be uncirculated to be worth more than face. -Drew |

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 |

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. |

: What is a star note?....I am new here :-) In the process of printing,some notes have errors and cannot be released to the public. They replace these notes with others,and there is a little star next to the serial numbers to mark it as a replacement. I don't know exact figures,but I've read something of the order of less than 1% in any given year are star notes,which makes them collectable.
