Got another star note today

Well, the motivation to keep it is that if any of these star notes are going to go up in value, it will be the higher value ones - for the exact reason you're having a hard time keeping it!!!

Most people will eventually spend it either out of necessity or boredom or wanting to get other currency/coins. So with time, it will be the $50's and $100's that will command the higher percentages.

After all, anyone can save a $1 * note, but it takes a real NUT to save the $100 * note

Not necessarily true. One has to know what he/she is looking for.

I've told my story before about when I ran a truck stop. Saw at least $12,000 in cash every day that's why I started collecting currency and I started with star notes.

I soon realized how expensive that could get as I frequently saw $100 or more in star notes a day of ALL denominations.

So I did some reading and started pulling the notes with low printings and older notes. There are a few $1 notes that get large premiums due to low printings. Factor in that and the fact that a $1 note gets used a lot so it gets shredded much sooner than a $100 note.

Yes, I do have some higher denomination notes. I completed the 1996 $20 and $50 district sets in XF-CU out of cash at work. The most valueable of all of those is the AH-* twenty. Only 640,000 printed. It's like mintages on a coin.

My best $1 notes? 1999 F-*. Pulled two CU notes out of a fresh pack. 640,000 printed and valued at $85 each. Was worth my 2 bucks.

Currency can really be a ball if you know what to look for.
