<p>[QUOTE="Neal, post: 25531908, member: 43872"]I know almost nothing about the current market for such things, but I do know that finding sequential star notes is not that rare, or at least was not back in the 1960s when I worked in a small-town bank. When we would get in a shipment of cash each week from the Fed, we would have to manually verify by counting all bills (except ones). Because star notes are replacements for misprinted sheets, it would not be unusual to find several in a given pack of new bills. They would all be consecutively numbered, even though distributed throughout the pack. Even though we did not have to individually count the ones, I know they were the same because I would notice them when I opened a new pack at my teller window. And no, I did not save all the star notes I found because they were common enough I did not have that much money! I did save some, which I still have. I suspect that if you wanted consecutively numbered star notes you could make a habit of buying packs of new bills from your bank. Eventually you would find some, although I have no idea how common they are now, but unless your bank charged you extra for looking for new packs of bills you would not be out more than face value.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
