Are those stains on the top of the note? Also, is it a 295 note?

The note doesnt look stained in hand, whats a 295 note?

 

From the uspapermoney.info site (http://snorkack.nfshost.com/fw295/)

"
In order to understand the FW295 error, it helps to know some background about the Bureau of Engraving and Printing's operation. The BEP prints U.S. currency in two locations: its main facility in Washington, DC, and the newer Western Currency Facility in Fort Worth, TX. Notes printed in Fort Worth can be identified by two distinctive features: A small "FW" facility mark appears just before the face plate number, and the back plate number is printed in large type. (The plate numbers, which identify the specific printing plates which produced a given note, are found in the lower right area of each side of the note on most denominations.)
During the production of Series 1995 $1 notes, however, one printing plate was engraved incorrectly. Back plate #295, intended for use at the Fort Worth facility, was accidentally engraved with the smaller-size plate number usually used for Washington, DC's plates. The error was not noticed at the BEP, and plate #295 was used in production in Fort Worth for several months.
As a result, all Series 1995 $1 notes printed with this back plate will have the "FW" facility mark on the face, but a small-size plate number "295" on the back--a combination which should not occur. These notes are now known as Fort Worth 295 errors."

 

Picked up two straps today. Nothing special, no stars. Only mildly interesting (to me, anyway) was the fact there were four 1995 notes, one 1988A note, and a 2006 note with the lowest SN I've found so far. D00056339A

 

Bunch of consecutive AU/CU 2009 $20 JB stars and a 1995 $2 bp#13 with board break!

 

I'll let you know as soon as I can afford a strap, because I'm freaking strapped - douhhh...

Please tell me with 34 pages that no one has done that joke yet?

 

Searched through lots of $1 bill packs today found 3 stars but they were really circulated also found 2 1993 notes 1 1988A note and 3 wheres george bills

 

VAcookey snagged a primo 20 star note, and I snagged this from work:

 

I cashed in my searched dimes today and got this back:

 

i received a $1 sn b33000032g, a $1 d88982889c, and a $5 sn ib28282528a in change today... so close to fancy numbers!! still waiting to find some nice sn's.

 

I just found two bills like that (2009, in $1 and $10), but they are not stars.

 

Was searching lots of $1 bill packs yesterday and found 1 1969A $1 bill, 1 1988 $1 bill, 1 1985 $1 bill and 1 1988A $1 bill all were circulated though.

 

Got this in change the other day, it’s not in that great ofshape but I like the serial number plus it’s a star note.

 

1974 NY $100 star a teller saved for me.XF +

 

Is this worn out star worth keeping?

 

Received these two notes, within a weeks time:

Series 1950A $10 (Swapped a newer $10, with somebody, who was trying to use it at a self checkout machine)



Series 1990 $20 star (withdrew some money from the ATM, and this was one of the notes that popped out)

 

I am just trying to upload a piture properly.

 

I would think so Gipper, if you can afford to....

 

Thank you for your reply and sorry for posting twice, it did not work the first time. I guess I could keep it until I find a better one.

 

Heck, why dont you put it on ebay, and try to get $150 for it. I would'nt be surprised if you got it.
