Yes, I am new to collecting. I have started with star notes mostly cause it's easy to know when you get one and you can usually find a couple for every one or two hundred bills. It's kinda like the fast food of collecting lol. Anyway I was wondering there are some characteristics that may make a star note worth a bit more than usual other than serial number, error, or the rarity of the star note. Perhaps what minting location is more desirable. Any thought? Thanks! Here are my newest ones I came across.
A few sites you should look at. http://www.mycurrencycollection.com/reference http://coolserialnumbers.com/default.aspx http://www.uspapermoney.info/
First, welcome to the neighborhood @SavageFountain ! I really don't collect paper money except when I come across something by accident, but I would think you might enjoy building a set of notes from San Francisco (SF) since it corresponds to your username. Chris
Welcome to CT @SavageFountain . Modern star notes are fun to find and collect. United States paper currency is printed, not minted (coins). The printing facilities are in Washington DC, and Fort Worth Texas. The two notes you posted have a front plate (fw A3) designating they were printed at the Bureau of Engraving and Printing Fort Worth location. They have an Atlanta District Seal and are from a short run of 640,000 notes. They are worth more than face value. Usual eBay auctions for uncircualted examples tend to run from $5.00 to $20.00, sometimes more if the serial number is fancy.
