<p>[QUOTE=&quot;lettow, post: 1631897, member: 6986&quot;]Star notes are also known as replacement notes.&nbsp; Replacement notes are used to replace notes that are found to be defective after the serial numbers are applied.&nbsp; A sheet of notes with stars will replace the defective sheet of notes. The star notes have their own serial numbers which are not related to the numbers on the notes they are replacing.&nbsp; There are fewer star notes than regularly numbered notes so they are more scarce.&nbsp; This is why a star note may be worth more.</p><p><br /></p><p>It has nothing to do with where the notes are printed.&nbsp; Prior to 1990 all notes were printed at the BEP in Washington.&nbsp; In 1990 the BEP opened a printing facility in Fort Worth and notes are printed in both locations.&nbsp; Notes printed in Fort Worth have a small FW near the plate number.&nbsp; Since $500.00 notes were last printed prior to 1990 all of them were printed in DC.</p><p><br /></p><p>Finally, there are 12 Federal Reserve Bank locations for which notes are printed, not 7.&nbsp; They are represented by letters and numbers.</p><p><br /></p><p>A-1&nbsp; Boston</p><p>B-2&nbsp; New York</p><p>C-3&nbsp; Philadelphia</p><p>D-4&nbsp; Cleveland</p><p>E-5&nbsp; Richmond</p><p>F-6&nbsp; Atlanta</p><p>G-7&nbsp; Chicago</p><p>H-8&nbsp; St. Louis</p><p>I-9&nbsp; Minneapolis</p><p>J-10&nbsp; Kansas City</p><p>K-11&nbsp; Dallas</p><p>L-12&nbsp; San Francisco[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
