<p>[QUOTE="TheBigH, post: 284387, member: 9866"]Congrats for your second star! I've found 3 in normal circulation so far (I rarely buy bills from the bank to search), but you seem to be finding them at a much faster rate than I did. Personally, I think you should keep every one you can get your hands on for face (unless, of course, it's a $100 or one that's too high). If you let it go, it'll circulate for a year or two maybe, and then get sent back to the fed, and that poor little star note will get destroyed. Besides, eventually even the common star notes will be uncommon, in my opinion. Why? Well, a lot of collectors that find them do a search and find out they're worth just $1. They spend the star, it gets destroyed. What was once common, is now rare. It has been played out dozens of times in the numismatic world. What I always say to anyone who tells me to spend my star notes is: "Don't forget, over 400,000 1933 double eagles were minted".</p><p> </p><p>You know, it's a bit of a habit for me to ramble whenever I respond to someone's thread!
