I quite often see posts of people finding them but in my entire life I do not think I have ever come across one. When I am at the bank and need cash I will occasionally ask for packs of singles just to see if I can find one. Any idea? 1 in 1000? 1 in 10,000? 1 in 100,000? thanks   03-17-2008, 10:43 PM   #2 (permalink) CamaroDMD Dental Student     Join Date: Mar 2006 Location: Oregon Posts: 5,873 My Mood: I don't know for sure, but I have heard that its 0.5%. Also, when at work I go through all my $1s looking for stars before I give those bills out and I seem to find one about every 2 straps..which works out to 0.5% (or 1 per 200). __________________ The Truth About "O" Mint Morgan Dollars   03-18-2008, 08:40 AM   #3 (permalink) Daggarjon Supporter**     Join Date: Sep 2005 Location: Michigan Posts: 8,049 My Mood: If you go Here and cick on any year excpet the current series, it will give you (at the bottom of ther page) what the published numbers are for stars. They do average around .5%, but can get close to 1% as well. __________________ Please visit My coin and currency Website.
