Took a ton of quarters back to the bank after searching them and my friendly teller gave me these in return for part of the return. I have a whole pack coming next Wed so I will see what shows up...hopefully a full pack of these!!
Nice finds but I don't think it'll be possible to find full packs of star notes for this series. All 2009 $100 notes are being run through a scanning process known as SNI to check for defects. Acceptable notes are being mixed up and shipped to banks in seemingly random order wherein you don't know what one serial number will be from the next.
Well, I guess I can hope to find some in the pack I have coming. I order new ones to take to Asia when we exchange money since they don't like folded ones or old beat up ones. If I get lucky maybe I will get a good number in the pack that will be here Wed. Of course I will pull out any good numbers I find in the pack..bookends, etc.
We've checked hundreds of the new $100 bills and only found a few * notes. None of the notes had interesting serial numbers. Is there a series worthwhile collecting?
A few years ago, I had a whole brick ($20k) of $100 star notes come in the bank. They weren't commanding much premium so I passed them all out. New bills come in sequential order. I have $80k in sequential brand new $100's sitting in the bank unopened right now. If you get the used bills, then it's a random mix of everything. Sent from my SM-N920V using Tapatalk
Any bill made for current circulation or any current circulation coin, never has a premium. You need to wait and hope many of these bills get sent overseas or are destroyed from use or tucked away and are completely off the market. Other collectors get all excited because the run number is low, but it's still a game of survival. You cannot predict any of the outcomes until 20 years after issue. Most won't have a happy ending. Those that do might increase in value by 15 to 20 dollars. What might be your outcome if you took that same bill or coin, and invested it in a real collectable? I would rather take it and buy something I know is valuable that speculate that it is valuable. But what if it's the one in a million coin or paper currency that becomes rare? Don't worry. You will never know. You will be dead and your grandchildren will turn it into a bank or through a coin star machine and be just as happy. What a waste of effort.
Seeing tons of these, in order even, bit since there's so many I've just been spending them... I had 6 in a row, but then see them on eBay with bids. Crazy!
