I have spent time..... on the CURRENCY FORUM! I couldn't help it. And this isn't the first time. And then I did something even worse!
A couple months back was my first experimentation..... I found a weird bill with the serial number in the wrong place. I researched e-bay, and made the leap to select US and World Currency Forum. I soon learned I didn't have a bill with the serial number in the wrong place, I really had a Federal Reserve Note with a third print shift error. On this first venture I also sold that FRN through the boards to a nice lady named BooBooBillQueen--my first currency sale!
Then in early September I was returning from Geilenkirchen Germany and stopped at the US Air Force Base in Schinnen, Netherlands. At the Shoppette I bought a frisbee. In change I received two crispy star notes with low consecutive serial numbers. I recognized them and kept them flat. I also checked if the cashier had more. No dice. I stached the bills inside the plastic cover sheet on page one of my Grey Sheet book.
On Sunday, 22 Oct ober, 2006, I started a thread on the currency forum. Link to thread. Here I learned my crispy star note was a rare low print run super low serial number (D 00005282) choice collector item with serious collector interest.
Now for the worse part..... I listed my first ever currency auction on e-bay! Further, I put it in my signature block. Don't hate me for going both ways.... I still like you guys! I just realized that you can have fun on both sides.

I constantly check all of my money everyday...coins and currency. I received a $20 bill from the bank the other day and the serial number was EE 88888898 B. I don't know if it worth anything but I put it away.
Interesting stuff you can find if you just take the time to look.

I just pulled out my big blue PCGS slab box filled with misc currency I've saved from my change and I have a 2001 star note with the serial number 208! It's still pretty crispy.
Looks like 14 times as many of mine were made relative to yours but I gotta believe that s/n 208 is worth something!

Good Luck with the auction, I see it said in the currency forum it should be worth around $100!

Sweet!
You'll enjoy it over there but never say anything positive about the currency TPG's.
DO NOT express even the slightest interest to keep any note inside a TPG tomb!

How about I get the other note graded? What do you think?
