2001 star $1 bill

found a 2001 $1 bill with a star at the end of the serial nuimber today. do you guys think these are even worth saving? how much are they even worth?

It's only worth saving if the letter is an "H" (Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis), if it's uncirculated (no folds, marks, etc.), or if the number itself is interesting. All of the other stars from 2001 are fairly common. UNC star notes can go for 10 to 15 times the amount a non-star would go for, whatever that would be for the series & FRB.

 

what if it well worn and not a saint.louis? it does'nt have a interesting serial # on it. should i keep it or spend it?

 

Spend it.

 

i found a 2003 series star note. its in super nice condition. new york printing.

the paper is very crisp, no crease from being folded but two of the corners were bent but not creased, thank god.

it may not be worth squat but its in very nice condition and its a star note so i'm keeping it. just for the fun of it.

its only a buck anyway.

 

I actually keep a collection of $1 star notes from circulation, most of them from 1995 or later, with a 1981A and a 1950A $5 being the only older ones I've found. They're all pretty common and not worth a whole lot, but as you said, it's only a buck (or 5).

 

What makes the ones from St. Louis more unique than others?

 

Only 640,000 H star notes were printed. All of the other districts (A,C,F,G,K,L) had at least 3,200,000 star notes printed. No stars were issued for districts B,D,E,I,or J.

 

all stars have value if you like them. If this is the first one you have found .. why not save it? you might not run across another one for a while. Stars only average about 1/2 of 1% off all notes printed.

 

Is is worth keeping a $10.00 note with a * and with a serial # BB 00003331 * ? its a 1996 in good to great shape

 

i would!!! i love star notes. And with 4 leading zeros, its a very low serial #!!

 

That's a nice ten, johndo. Do you mean 1995, though?

 

need to rephrase, it still has good color, but somebody crumpled it (it has been awhile since i looked) it has a fold over the serial # under the microscope it looks like a 1989, so i cant be sure if its a 89 or 99.

the reason i kept it was the serial #

 

johndo, if the serial number starts with B, it's a 1999, and definitely a keeper.

 

It's my understanding that the letter's in front of the serial # is derived from the FRB that ordered the notes, how does one determine the origin of the FRB by the letter's ?

Just yesterday on the Travel channel they had a piece on paper notes that I thought was very interesting.

 

there are 12 districts each with its own letter ....
A- Boston
B- New York
C- Philly
D- Clevland
E- Richmond
F- Atlanta
G- Chicago
H- St louis
I- Minneapolis
J- Kansas City
K- Dallas
L- San Fran

 

That's cool, why is one better that the other

 

well, mostly based on printings... take the 2003A series .. most districts had runs of several million .. but the Dallas run 'K' had a run of only 640,000. This makes the K district much more valuable then the others... right now they are selling for around 60-75 each on Ebay. Past series had districts with runs of 320,000 notes. Series that have district runs of that few notes are worth looking out for

 

where do you find the information on how many was ran for each district and year

 

im not sure how to 'correctly' add a link, so i appologize to the mods if this is incorrect =)
