[QUOTE="Jersey magic man, post: 24669283, member: 87624"]The BEP always prints a certain percentage of star notes based on the size of the runs that are planned for any specific year. Problem notes during printing are replaced with star notes. Any leftover star notes are placed into general circulation. If you are very very lucky, you can get a full strap of star notes from your bank. They are available on eBay. By accident, the Fort Worth and Washington, DC BEP facilities both ran a number of runs of star notes. Therefore, there are star notes with the exact same serial numbers with the only difference being where they were printed. These duplicates were for 2013 New York (B) notes and are a limited to the following serial number ranges: B00000001 through B00250000; B03200001 through B06400000, and B06400001 through B09600000. I believe only three or four matched pairs have been documented so far. Your chances of finding a matched pair are astronomical. But keep looking, it doesn't cost anything to look. Certified matched pairs have sold for tens of thousands of dollars (depending on their rating).[/QUOTE]
