What Is a Star Note?

A Star Note is a replacement note printed to replace faulty ones. These bills feature a star (*) at the end of the serial number and are often limited in number, making them rare and collectible.

What Are Fancy Serial Numbers?

Fancy Serial Numbers have special patterns like 12344321, 00000005, or 11112222. Collectors look for ladders, repeaters, radars and binary notes – some can be worth far more than face value.
