Since I don't know anything about paper money, I thought I'd ask all you fine folks out there about what I found yesterday. Someone came in to pay a bill and while counting, I found a Series 2001 $100. bill with a star at the end of the seriel number. The seriel number is CD 01552106*. I bought the bill and now wonder if it was worth it. I mean, other than the fact that it's worth at least $100. It's been bent in the middle, but it's not a crease. Yes, it's circulated but still very crisp (if that's what you call it). Any help would be appreciated.
A star note indicates that that note was used to replace a note that was "spoiled" during printing. In lower denominations they have some premium value, but you have the problem that as the face value of the note increases, the number of collectors decreases. Eventually you reach the point where there are more notes available than collectors and the premium value falls.
Thanks for your reply, Condor. Doesn't it figure. I find something I think is "kewl" and it only has face value. What was I thinking?? Maybe I'll save it anyway. Who knows, maybe my great-great-great grandkids can find a value in it.
