[QUOTE="bhp3rd, post: 700434, member: 16510"][b]In modern currency there ain't much to look for,[/b] In modern stuff unless you can obtain tons of Unc. bills there is not a whole lot to search for as compared to coins anyway. There are errors and stars and numbers and sometimes a printing/paper type error. Finding special numbers is fun but the ones that get through are not generally going to be the "big ones", like solid numbers - people with deep pockets have friends at the fed and the brick numbers are easy to see. These people buy bricks if there is special numbers in it then they get it. Modern star note are wayyyyy overrated as far as rairity goes and just do not sell well down here - people have $100 packs of $1 Stars and are lucky to get $125 if that. It's the $1 and $2 that bring premiems in that kind of stuff, a $20 dollar star note is worth $20. If I was going to search paper it would have to be unc. packs and the pickings are slim - but there are tougher notes even in modern times but your not going to find them and fine them nice in circ. stuff. If searching Unc. packs of $1 or $2's that don't appear to have stars always look at the back few notes for stars, even in the middle sometimes will be one or two stars. There are several good books on paper but not near as many paper collectors as coin collectors. Good luck!!![/QUOTE]
