    that stamp looks like regular ink from a stamp pad. i dont beleive it to be printed like that. the stars are suppose to have holes in the middle and not be solid anyways. it should look like this.

    Nope, not a real star note. If it where, there would be no "A" at the end of the serial number...it would be replaced by a green star.

    The close up sure makes it look hand drawn. Would have been interesting if it was put there by a fed employee as a prank.

    As CrustyCoins said, it looks hand drawn.

    Definitely added post BEP.

    Another possibility is that some stores require cashiers to stamp large bills
    with a stamp that was issued to them. This allows the store manager to
    track down which cashier accepted the bill if it later turns out to be counterfeit.

    I agree 1000%..that is no way a star note.
    It simply amazes me that people think they can alter notes and get away with it. Pretty silly if you ask me.
