I'm trying to find a buyer for my never seen before 100$
note. it has a star on the bottom right low corner by the 100. The star is a typo from the bureau of engraving and printing in Texas. This

is a one of a kind note.

    I would argue that it appears to be a chop mark and applied post BEP.

    Steve is right.

    This mark was applied by a banker overseas (likely Middle East or Asia) to authenticate the note. Counterfeits are a much bigger problem outside the U.S. where many $100s circulate and many $100s are countermarked to assure authenticity.

    You have a genuine $100 note. It has no value above face value. Spend it. That's the sure way to get what it's worth-$100.

    Collector and dealer in obsolete currency. Always buying all obsolete bank notes and scrip.
