The Teller at my Bank Has a 100.00 1934 C J02994481 All I could get out of her,,
It looked like it had a fold and was not too bad....

Anyone tell me about that bill?? Rare? Rough Value from a Med Grade to Low??

crisp Series 1999 and 1995 $20
1950A $5 note

2 $5 star notes

$1 star notes:
1999
4 2003
6 2003A
6 2006

 

I found a nice crisp 2006 $1 star G00106577*

 

Well I'm not a strap searcher or a paper collector, but went to Wahlmart today and got a 1934 A series $5 bill in great condition. The issuing bank was Chicago. I know nothing about paper, but I plan on keeping this one.

 

Cool! a couple months ago my brother got 2 1934 10's from the bank... but he spent one at frys :headbang::headbang::headbang::headbang::headbang:

 

found 1 star note $1 bill and a $1 bill with a serial # of 00006621 circulated though.

 

I asked a teller today if i could see her mutilated bill pile, and she are you sure? their pretty nasty, i said yes and when she took the stack out i saw the old reverse of the $2 bill series! My heart skipped a beat and i said i already want to buy one of these. It is a 1928 D series $2 bill, edges ripped, folded in any way possible and looks like someone spilled coffee on it, but i love its character and am going to keep it.

 

Found a $1 2006 Star Note

Purposefully paid for my morning coffee with a really beat up $10 and have been hoping all this week to see a star(*) in change, et Voila! received a $1 2003A Philly with SN: C02112807*, circulated and folded but remotely still crisp.

 

Got three *'s this morning.

2006-L06150578*
2006-L04063053*
2001-C02706290*

2001 is circulated but hasn't seen much use.

 

Found my 50th star last week. Have been searching $1 straps since Feb last year. In that time have gone though $14.9K. As for my average that comes out to be 1 star for every $300 and this has been pretty consistant throughout the year. Anyone else with similar or better averages?

 

1 star for every $300 is about the same I get. I'm in the Bay Area too so I hope we do not go to the same banks.
Good luck!

 

went through 1200 today in ones.. got 4 Star.. So about the same in Boise..

 

Teller gave me a $2 bill she was holding on to for me today:

$5 2003A FE-B found inside strap

 

Today the teller gave me some new $5's and I noticed that it was close to a repeater and asked if she had anymore and sure enough she had the repeating serial! This is my second repeater I have found.

 

I am in the bay area, but I a getting about 1 star every $175.
Also there is about a dozen or so strap searchers in the bay area alone that I ahev meet at the same banks, so it looks like you guys might be getting there throw aways...

Also got a star in change today

$1 2003 G04849040*

Probably will spend it though

 

Now thats a nice repeater and a NY Note to boot!!
Must have been your lucky day..

I got a 2004 $20 star note in change the other day, it's the first star note I've seen outside of this forum. It's not in the best condition, but I'm still pretty thrilled with the find.
