Star Notes

I was wondering how many people collect star notes on here?

I have one or two.

 

I keep them when I see them, but they are all modern circulated examples.

 

I keep them when the run size is 640,000 or less.

 

I keep most star note's that I come across & some time I will go to the bank & buy up to $800 in $2 dollar bills & look for star notes / radar/ repeaters ! It just for fun

 

I collect certain series and varieties, usually uncirculated.

 

I keep short print runs, older series or uncirculated examples only. Common circulated stars aren't worth holding onto in my opinion. Those might be worth only a few pennies over face value. Not possible to make a profit with auction and shipping fees. Maybe in 100 years it will worth a little more, but I could have made by putting that star note into a pitiful-interest-rate savings account.

 

Please explain Star Notes- I take it we are talking about $2 bills & where do you find the Star?

I pull all star notes. It's a different means of saving. When I have time I separate the low print runs to save. I then take the ones that are not worth saving and use to buy my next coin at the local shop. It's like a small treat for putting some money aside. Also now I have all low print run stars and the coins I desire.

 

@Mic123 a star note is when on a paper note there was a mistake on the run/press. and instead of a rerun of a different serial number they just rerun same # but use a * at the end instead of redoing the #.s. there is a longer explanation. google it.. lol

 

This is all fascinating and new to me....education, education... and now, I need to find one..

 

I was told by a Bureau of Engraving employee that they don't print STAR notes anymore.
Can anyone confirm this?

 

I believe the most recent year printing is 2013. They do include stars.

I collect all star notes. I have silver certificate star notes and I recently got a $20 star note from an ATM.

 

I don't know if I collect them or horde them. I put them in the safe either way. Never bought one above face and are easy to see without a loupe, so they may be a lazy way to collect.

 

I don't collect them. I accumulate them when they go through my hands...

 

I have all the samples I want and now stopped saving them. Only when it's on large size currency would I consider purchasing one.

 

I collect star notes, and star sheets.

 

I collect and save all modern short run stars. Been doing so now for about 5-6 years and still hasn't old. I enjoy finding them and wish i had more.
