<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Numbers, post: 2622531, member: 11668&quot;]No, leftover star notes from one series can be used as replacements in the next series, provided there hasn&#039;t been a design change.&nbsp; It would be perfectly normal to find, say, a 1950B star note in a new strap of 1950C regular notes.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>No, this is never done.&nbsp; Star notes go into circulation *only* as replacements for defective regular notes; they&#039;re never issued into circulation in their own right.&nbsp; If you find a full strap of star notes, it means a full strap of regular notes was replaced by a star strap.&nbsp; If you find a full brick of star notes, it means every regular strap in the brick was replaced by a star strap--most likely some printing error affected many consecutive notes, like a digit in a numbering head getting stuck and producing a whole bunch of notes with mismatched serial numbers.&nbsp; But the label on the brick will always show the non-star serial numbers that are supposed to be in the brick, so you can tell that the stars really are replacements for particular regular notes, and *not* extra/leftover stars that were just sent into circulation.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
