SLOW TONIGHT- PAPER MONEY QUESTION

KUCH

ON SILVER CERTIFICATES AND BANK NOTES.... THE "PRICE GUIDE" MAGAZINE HAS DATES WITH A STAR AFTER IT. EXAMPLE.... WHAT DOES THE STAR MEAN OR DESIGNATE? THANKS FOR THE HELP. WOULD LIKE TO WISH ALL A HEALTHY PROSPEROUS NEW YEAR.

Those are prices indicated for star (replacement) notes

More specifically, a star note is one that was made after its original serial number note was damaged in some way during printing as to make it unreleasable...

They are cool and I always check my paper money for them...

actually, star notes are printed before the regular run of notes and are used to replace the defective pieces.

....and it's easier to do that than to go back and reset the numbers.

KUCH

OK SO THEY WERE PRINTED EITHER BEFORE OR AFTER THEIR DATE, BECAUSE OF AN ERROR, DO THEY ACTUALLY HAVE A STAR ON THEM? HOW DO YOU KNOW IF YOU HAVE A STAR NOTE? THANKS

Yes, they do have a "star" at the end of the serial number.

Mine are all BA notes. Where are they from?

atarian

If you are saying like $1 bill series its a BA block B= New York and A is the first block after the star notes ( lowest numbers of the whole B blocks.


if you mean $20 bills then it can mean the 1999 series B stands for teh 2nd series of the new style. 1999 series and A is the first national bank Boston
