Post your star finds to date

i started collecting stars about 2 weeks ago at the bank. i only sit in a teller window when i'm covering someone's vacation, so i had a couple good weeks to check bills at the drive-up for the first half of october while the regular teller was off. i haven't bought every star i've seen because i can't afford to pull out all the $50 and $100 stars i come across, but i keep all the singles and everthing i can afford up through $20's right now. if i find one in better condition or with a lower serial, i trade one out, so my collection is pretty small right now. also, i had to use a $20* today to buy groceries, so i'm down to one at the moment. anyways...

2009 $20 JD 00136389 * (640k run)
2006 $5 IF 01936585 *
2009 $1 A 00410176 *
2006 $1 F 05417628 *

All but three are circulation finds. The 3 I bought was the Radar/Star Note (63) and the 2 1957's which I got for a good deal (The dealer had them in with the non-star note collection)

I am deffinatey trying to get a district set of 2009 star though...

Are you trying to pull from circulation, or also interested in purchasing. If purchasing, I can give you info on the person who helped me out with my district set. PM me if that's the case.

Well, when I tossed the bills, they kind of fanned out on the seat, and I saw the edge of that 1990 sticking out amongst the others. I was quite surprised to not only find a small face $20 from an ATM, but a star note, no less.

It was one of those finds that just makes your day. I was on cloud nine, for quite a while, afterwards.

I know what you mean haha. Just one of those finds that makes the whole seem awesome. Thats an awesome find. I'd imagine it was stolen from someones personal collection and spent, it was passed on to somebody who just spent it, the person who had it for a while ran broke and spent it, or something along those lines. Nice find!
