    My 5th star note, 3rd found in circulation by myself.


    Pulled this out of the ATM today. It's my 2nd $20 star. It's nothing special considering the left corner is torn and it has a few testing pen marks and it's from a long run of stars, but i try to save any and all stars I find.

    I have two $20's and a $1 i found in circ, as well as a 1935E star note and 1976 $2 that were given to me in crisp condition.

    Congrats i wonder what happened to my luck of finding one thing every month. it better not be 8 yrs of drought followed by 2 months of finds and then back to square one. that would annoy me. I have another 6 days to find something

    nice note Boston Mike. That $20 is a keeper. the corner has that tear, but at least the ripped piece is still there.

    Nice! I found a star note today as well!! It was kinda a funny story how I got it too! I was waiting in line at the hardware store and the guy in front of me was digging through his wallet to get his money ready for his purchase, being the obsessed freak I am I couldn't help but look at his money as he was thumbing through it.. I noticed a $5.00 bill star note and I just had to start a conversation... Well in the end he traded me $5.00 bills and I got the Star note!! Its a 1999 5 Dollar bill nothing special, the serial # is uncool! (24.7%) and it is circulated, no tears, but several folds... but hey.. its a star note, with a memorable story behind it!

    I usually end up spending $20 star notes.
