This is around the 6th star series bill I came across over the past few months. Got this at the bank when getting a few dollars for the weekend. Got to wonder if I should be collecting these type of notes, since I’ve been lead to believe only like 2% of all paper currency is such * series. Hope I don’t come across too many more $100 bill star series. Can get costly.
From a large print run of 3.2M replacement notes. Most $100 note collectors I know want uncirculated examples because of the high face value. Over 7 billion series 2009A $100s were printed with a 1.05% replacement note average. http://www.uspapermoney.info/serials/f2009ah.html
Cool find, but as @SteveInTampa said, it's not a rare note. Nothing wrong with keeping it, but since it's not rare or in crisp condition, it's unlikely to ever be worth more than face value. $100 is a lot of money to tie up. Here is a site to determine if a star note is rare. You may want to bookmark it. http://www.mycurrencycollection.com/reference/star-notes/lookup
That's Kool.... Been Soo hard to find for me... Found one star note in the past year n half.... May end up just buying stacks of bills to search for them... Bur, people must be keeping a watchful eye out for everything around me cause seems Soo hard to find even wheat pennies around here... Need to find me a car wash around here that dispenses $1 gold coins... There's a couple in TN... But I moved to Arkansas so... Eh... Search continues
I only started looking for the star notes over the past several months, maybe year now. I found two in one week and a few here and there. The $100 bill was found recently as well. I actually come across star notes more frequently in my change then I come across wheat pennies. I learned of their existence from posts on this site. Wonder how many I had before I started looking for them.
