    If I don't need the twenty then it's a keeper.

    Keep it until you get a better one.

    Those creases are ugly and hurt the condition.

    Yeah, that's exactly I don't like it much... Maybe I should put in in a book for 10 years maybe it will get better :))

    I’ve come across a note from the same run as yours, and ended up spending it- from what I’ve noticed, low runs (640,000 and 320,000) are valued if they are either a single run or 1/2 runs.

    Altogether, with the creases, there won’t be much additional value, but, if you are able to, and want hold on to the note, then keep it.

    Those creases do hurt the value. 10 years, fooey, it'll be over before you know it. Just don't forget where you put it. It may another 10 years to find it. :)

    A low run when the district (F) has 6.72 million notes means collectors should easily find a 2009 $20 Atlanta star. Some collectors collect notes strictly from circulation, keep it if you like it, but because of condition, it probably won’t increase in value in your lifetime, if at all.

    Modern star note values are heavily weighted on condition.

    That's exactly how I was thinking about it. Thanks for confirming it for me.

    I say keep it. It's a great way to save $$$ and who knows what will happen in the currency future?

    That's not a bad idea. Make a piggy bank specially for notes like this one. Considering it like a savings account for my daughter. :)

    How do you tell a single run of half run? Sorry but I'm kind of new to this and would like to learn.

    Single run is shown on the star note checker. If there are several runs, you can tell by the different blocks (Ex: Serial A00000001*-A03200000*, so, run 2 would be A03200000*-A03840000*). You'll see it on this website: http://www.mycurrencycollection.com/reference/star-notes/lookup

    By "1/2", I meant a note belonging to one of two small runs of either 320,000 or 640,000.
