I think you ought to post this over on the currency forum. Worth $100 in my pocket...but I really
do not know.

I think you're right.This is wrong forum for question like this.Sorry.

Is there a currency form in CU boards? I don't see one.

Yes, there is - you have to scroll down to the bottom of the choices for the "Navigation" drop-down menu, to find it.

My understanding from the currency guys is that they are mostly interested in Crisp Uncirculated modern currency - if it has been folded a few times the bill's value drops a lot.

I sold two crispy, fresh out of a bank wrapper, 100 dollar bills for $160 each a few years back. They were also consecutive serial numbers with no ink stains.

Well,the $100 bill that is the topic of this thread,has been folded.It's not crisp but it's not a rag.I'm interested in these from the standpoint that I don't want to get stuck with a counterfeit.I've got a counterfeit detector pen but won't use it on the note until I've looked it over a bit.

I'm seeing plenty of the older ones,with the smaller portrait of Franklin.Aren't these being taken out of circulation when they get to the Federal Reserve Bank? Star means "this note replaces another"Star notes found in circulation should be in a little better condition than non-star notes within the series since they were obviously put into circulation at a later time than the non-star notes.

Sorry.DaveG thanks for the info.I'll now go over to the currency forum.

I don't think it works that way.
Notes messed up in circulation get shredded and replaced by new ones of whatever the current series is.
The stars are to replace ones that were miss-printed, I'd think the replacements with stars get shipped in the same groups or at least the same time-frame as the group they replaced. It's not a replacement for a note damaged in use.
