I'll get excited with it's sevens.

 

I read, in one of the coin magazines, that the BEP was considering eliminating the star on replacement notes when they switched from the 32 note sheet to the 50 note sheet. I haven't seen any other articles on this, and I can't imagine why going from 32 to 50 per sheet would have an effect on putting a star on a replacement note, unless they are considering not replacing sheets that have errors.

By the way, there are modern star notes that are worth saving (I save any modern star note if the note is in crisp condition). I've posted this before, but I think it's worth putting it up again. Here's a modern note that is both a repeater and a radar note.

 

It's also a bibary note as only zeros and eights are used.

 

I guess people love to read posts so they can find mistakes and then post the mistake. For the sake of new members who are just learning about coins and currency, I edited my earlier post to read BEP (Bureau of Engraving and Printing) instead of mint. As just about everyone knows, the mint is responsible for the production of coins and medals and the BEP is responsible for the production of currency. By the way sometimes they join together and put out a product that contains both a coin and a piece(s) of currency.

 

The biggest problem is listening to anyone instead of your own hunches. Before you spend it list it for sale on ebay at a $51 starting bid. You may be surprised what you get for it. If no one wants it you get charged nothing. The opinions you get on this site are worth exactly what you pay for them.

 

If you sell a $50 bill for $51 fees and postage are going to make you come out on the losing side. Even if the buyer pays shipping, it's costing you time and money with the fees. It's worth more just to spend it.

 

Am I correct that your advice was free?

Not everything free is bad.

 

Yes free advice is worth what you pay for it.
I just thought if it lists at $51 and gets only 1 bid, then it is costing money.
Just spend it. Let's say you save it for 20 years and it's worth $55.
$50 today is worth more than $55 20 years from now.
You could buy a really nice coin for $50 which might be worth $100 in 20 years. Plus the 20 years of enjoyment in owning the coin.

 

It is also a Flipper Note.. Turn it upside down and it still reads the same

That would be Binary note

 

I have a Canadian 1954 $1 "Devil's Face" note with the serial number starting with 666. Now that is evil! I'm sure to the right person it would have some value. If the number was 00000666, then you would have something.

 

Glad you knew what I meant. The key pad on my cell is to small for my finger. And there's that darn spell check.
