[QUOTE="Endeavor, post: 2247979, member: 60292"]Star notes are uncommon to find in circulation, but they are out there - unlike silver quarters. My entire first year of checking for star notes not once did I find one. Then one day I got a $1 star in my change. Since then I've had good luck finding them. I've actually found like 7 or 8 since then. The key is to pay cash for most things and always check. Another tip (and this is something I do a lot) is pay in a denomination that gets change back. For example, if something comes out to $7 and I can pay the exact amount (meaning I have a five and two ones) I will usually give the cashier a 10 dollar bill instead so that I get 3 ones in return. Sure my wallet will get fatter than it needs to be but I don't care as long as I'm getting more chances to find notes and fancy serial numbers. By the way I have never gotten a fancy serial number (such as radar, repeater, binary, etc.), but I still check. Always check. Some collectors go to the bank and get stacks to search through. I haven't done that (only for coin roll hunting), but that's another option. Anyway, good luck on popping your cherry.[/QUOTE]
