Not worth much over face value due to wear. Condition is everything on paper money.

 

I'm not seeing this as a birthday note. Why do you think it is?

 

1948 at the end of the serial number

 

This isn't a blue note or a birthday note.
A birthday note will have the day/ month/ and year in order.

 

O.K. Thanks for the reply but I'm seeing some similar examples on YouTube and eBay.

 

Sorry I meant star note

 

Don't listen to those sources, they are full of misinformation. A birth note is just what Michael description it as. The first two digits are the month, the next two digits are the date and the last four digits are the year. Your bill would breakdown as follows: 06641948
06=June
64=no month has 64 days
1948=The year or 1948

So close but it's a miss. Some people stretch it by making the year the first 4 digits followed by the month and date but this is not the correct format.

As for the star note itself:
It's a star or a replacement note
It's on a twenty, a higher denomination
A twenty is a highly used bill
The bill is cut and very well centered
It has several folds and crease marks
The corners are worn
There is a magic marker stain (top left)
Minor staining on the reverse

Condition is everything on paper money. Since this is a newer bill and with the overall condition, despite the rarity, it will be worth face value or very close to it.

Hope this helps.

 

Thank you so much for the info

 

Not a birthday note. And definitely not a blue note. Forget YouTube. They are a fountain of misinformation!
Just ask us!

 

Here is a birthday note.

 

You're welcome

 

How is this a birthday note? Please explain.

 

Is that the 22nd month of 1945 or the 210th day of february?

 

In a birthday note the first 2 digits in the serial number must be a 01 through 12 for the month. The next 2 digits need to be 01 though 31, corresponding to the month of course. You can't have 0231 as February does not have 31 days. The last 4 digits are the year so you can only go up to 2019.

Some people stretch this into the first 2 digits are the date and the next 2 are the month but that is not correct by the definition of a birthday note.

 

Backwards..10-22-1944
Not a bday note in my book

 

No. The order is wrong.
A $100 birthday note was posted very recently.

Don't be so inclusive. LOL!

 

It's on a US note so it has to follow the US format
