Can you just go to the bank and ask if they have any star notes? How else would you find these without paying high premiums??

IMHO if you asked any bank teller for a bundle of star notes your sure to get that deer in the headlights look!
But, most importantly, ask to speak to the head teller.
They cannot specifically order replacement notes for you. But they can order any denomination in particular you are looking for. What comes to them (series, etc..) is completely outside of their control.
in the end, how well you build the relationship will dictate to what lengths they will go to please you.
My nephew finds them often, then tells me and I say "oooh, cool". But, I really don't feel that way.
I recently went to a new coin club and scratched my head at what people buy and how little they pay for things... Then, I go see what they sell for on eBay and voila, the light goes on
This happens with so many collectibles at the local scene. It's fun attending these "mini-shows", but some things go over my head, even while others go "goo goo" over them.
My question is :
Do they have currency geeks, too ?

Yes they have currency geeks.......they are a lot like coin geeks but not as good looking and missing the wit, charm and personality.
Many also have a musty scent of old underwear where a lot of their treasures resided before being discovered.
Their treasured notes smell like Tide and clorox.
<< <i>I was lucky enough to be able to get packs of new $1's at my credit union, looking for radar and birthday notes or other good serial no's. I found that where good numbers were supposed to be (in sequential order in the pack of notes) there would be a star note. I'm convinced the good ones were/are removed and replaced by the BEP for retail selling. >>
if they are sold at retail.. in what form?
it would seem very odd for the same two notes to have the
same serial number but one with a star. i thought the star meant
they were redone due to some reason.
correct me please if i am wrong.

Without giving this a whole lot of thought, my response would be to go to the bank and just get stacks and stacks of bills the same way collectors gets rolls and rolls of coins.
You might also ask if the have any "new" bills.

The other day, I pulled a $10 Star note out of $1000 worth.
Once I got a $50 Silver certificate and spent it... hate to think how much it really cost me...
<< <i>This is interesting. What is a Star note? >>
Replacement note. Notice the star at the end of the serial number.
Since the BEP prints so much paper money, it would be nearly impossible to replace misprinted notes with another note with the same exact serial number as the damaged note. So Star notes are printed in advance as replacement notes. They have their own sequence separate from notes in the pack, but the use of them essentially leaves the remaining notes in sequential order.
Early replacement note:
Collector of US Small Size currency, Atlanta FRNs, and Georgia nationals since 1977. Researcher of small size US type - seeking serial number data for all FRN star notes, Series 1928 to 1934-D. Life member SPMC.
But they really aren't worth much now, for the newer notes. But maybe in the future
