Anyone Collect Modern Star Notes just for fun?

JDsCoins

Just wondering if there are any other collectors out there that when I get a star note in change I have to keep it and add it to the collection?

Maybe I am the only one haha

I keep all of the $1 replacement notes I receive in change. I consider these spenders and not part of my collection.

Right anytime I get them I have to save them haha

The cool thing is, once you train yourself to look at the serial number of every note that passes through your hands, you can find all sorts of interesting things...

Yep. In change at a McDonald's, of all places. That was almost 20 years ago now -- it's a Series 2001-- and it's what really reinforced looking at every note for me. At the time, I had no idea exactly how hard they were to find or how valuable they are. I'm mainly a coin guy, and this far beats any of the Coinstar silver scores I've had over the years.

Agreed.. youthful ignorance. It was pretty crumpled when I found it, and I rinsed with with dish soap/water and put it in a book for a few years. Hadn't even heard of PPQ/EPQ back then. Also a lesson I've subsequently learned...

Ok, finding that solid 3 in circulation is awesome!

I keep a few stars from each district if I get them, but I don't save everything. I have a few things I collect from circulation $1 notes: First a set by district, then a set by the serial number suffix, then each series year, then a set of blocks that are chemical element symbols (i.e. block FE for iron), then a few stars by district. I don't find much to add anymore though. It is about $100 in total and in a real emergency I could spend them, mostly at my cost.

I definitely save all the solid serial numbers I come across though. Zero so far

Fun here too. I've been pulling stars for years. Got a few solid stars, consecutive stars, about 3 dozen 2013-B's, and in the course of that itch, lots of trinaries, binaries, radars. It's all good. Peace Roy

Love the 3 $1 note!!!! Im a big fan of 3's

Are you planning to sell/trade the note?

Please let me know!

At one time I did collect them. Took the group to a show and no takers. So unless they are really interesting they go back into circulation.
