$2 1976 Federal Reserve Star Note.
What are Star Note?
Replacement bills indicated by a star symbol at the end of the serial number instead of a letter. Printed to replace defective notes during production, they typically represent less than 1% of notes produced. Their relative scarcity compared to regular notes drives their premium value, especially for star notes from smaller print runs or those with fancy serial numbers, which can command significant collector premiums.

I have 4 $1 that are sequential. They are I87805555B, i878055556B, i87805557B, and i87805558B. All are series 2021 with F5 and a big 9. They are surprisingly crisp.
Nice little group. Since they’re sequential and still look pretty crisp, they should bring a small premium over face value, but probably not a huge one. The 5555 through 5558 run makes them a little more fun than an ordinary set. I’d roughly put the four-note group at about $8 to $15 total to the right buyer. If they were absolutely gem new straight from a strap, maybe a bit better, but from the photo I’d keep expectations in that range.
I have a $2 United State Note red lettering and Series 1953 A A55372023 A in reasonable good shape
A 1953A red seal $2 note in decent circulated condition is usually worth a little over face value, roughly around $3 to $5. If it’s more worn, it would be closer to the low end, and if it’s cleaner and crisper it could do a bit better. The serial number usually doesn’t add much on a note like this unless it has a special pattern.
Thanks again but so far I am striking out on these bills, oh well!
I have a $1 Silver Certificate series 1923 it is an over sized bill dirty and folded circulated A21656928E
A 1923 $1 Silver Certificate is a collectible note, especially since it’s the larger old-style bill. If it’s dirty, folded, and circulated like you described, I’d roughly put it around $8 to $20. If it has damage or repairs, closer to the low end. Still a neat piece.
Thank you for your information. at that price i will probably just hang on to it. It’s older than me at 82.
I also have a $5 bill Series 2013 MB 11656511 D circulation not perfect
Hi Patrick, your 2013 $5 note with serial 11656511 is more interesting. It has matching 11s on both ends and a nice repeating pattern in the middle, so it’s better than an ordinary serial number.
Since it’s circulated and not in perfect shape, I’d usually expect a rough value of around $8 to $15. If it still has strong eye appeal and only light wear, it could bring a bit more to the right buyer.
Thank you for your information.
I have a $1 bill series 2021 with a number I 93399093 A and I wonder if there is a value higher than $1
Hi Patrick, your 2021 $1 note with serial 93399093 does have a little collector interest because it’s a trinary serial number, but it’s not one of the stronger fancy types like a radar, repeater, ladder, or solid.
In circulated condition, it’s usually close to face value, with a realistic range of about $1 to $5, depending on how nice it looks. If it’s crisp and uncirculated, it may do a little better.
Thank you for your efforts. I have a couple others I will post for you to look at for me.
I have this $1 bill with a very thing margin on the right side face of the bill. Does this type of error ever have any value?
Hi Silas — yes, this kind of “thin border” can have value, but it depends on how extreme the miscut/off-center is.
From your photos, it looks like a minor off-center / miscut: the right margin is tight, but the design still appears fully on the note (nothing is cut off, and you’re not seeing part of the next note). Minor off-centers are fairly common on modern $1 bills, so the premium is usually modest.
For a quick reality check, I looked at a few comparable eBay examples:
So a realistic expectation is usually a couple bucks over face value (often in the $3–$8 ballpark depending on condition and how much the buyer likes the look). Bigger prices tend to be for more dramatic miscues (design actually cut into, alignment marks visible, or a clear “partial next note” look). (eBay)
A couple quick tips if you want to double-check the “error strength”:
I wouldn’t recommend grading a minor off-center $1 — the grading/shipping fees usually cost more than the premium on a note like this.
I have 3 sequential $1 crisp bills with a funky cut. The also have mis-printing on the sides of Washington. Plus another in the series. Should I keep them? Any added value? Thanks much!
Hi sisinca — thanks for sharing the photo, that really helps 👍
Here’s the straight, collector-friendly take on what you have:
What I’m seeing
Do these count as real errors?
Probably not in the way collectors pay big premiums for. For error value, collectors usually look for:
Your bills fall into the category of minor miscut / near-normal alignment, which is pretty common with modern $1s.
Value-wise
Should you keep them?
If you’d like, you can also plug the serials into SerialWorth just to double-check there’s nothing hidden (radar, repeater, etc.), but based on the photo alone, this looks more like a cool curiosity than a true error jackpot.
Still a nice find — and crisp sequential notes are always satisfying to line up 😊
I have two $20 bills with star notes. Are they worth anything
Hi Yalixa,
Nice finds! Star notes are replacement bills the BEP prints when there’s a printing error, so they’re a little scarcer than regular notes and always fun to spot in change.
From what I can see, both of your $20s are modern Series 2017A notes and they’ve been in circulation for a while (folds, wear, etc.). The serial numbers are normal – not super low, not repeating, and not a “fancy” pattern – so for most collectors these would trade for right around face value, basically $20 each.
Where you start to see extra value is when:
So financially, you’re probably safe to spend them if you want, but they still make a cool little mini-collection.
I have two star note $1 bills and would like to see what they are worth
Hi Yalixa,
Thanks for the clear photo—that helps a lot. Both of your $1s are modern star notes, and they’ve definitely seen some circulation (folds, wrinkles, a little edge wear).
For modern $1 bills like these, value really comes from being crisp uncirculated or from belonging to a tiny print run or having a really wild serial (ladders, radars, lots of the same digit, very low numbers, etc.). In circulated condition with regular serials, most dealers will treat them as right around face value, maybe $1–$1.25 each to someone who just likes star notes.
If you like them, I’d keep them as a fun little mini-collection, but I wouldn’t expect more than spending money out of them.
Could this dollar – bottom one – with strange smudge on it, be a printing error?..It is not washable dirt. It was printed in 2021. when many different errors on 1$ bills have happened.
Thanks for sharing your note, Paul! From the photo, the bottom $1 does show a large, blurry “smudge” across Washington’s portrait, but the pattern looks more like post-print damage than a true BEP printing error.
A few reasons:
Real ink-smear errors usually show a directional wipe or streak that follows the printing rollers.
Your note’s smudge has a patchy, uneven look, which is more typical of moisture, friction, or something rubbing against the bill after it left the Bureau of Engraving and Printing.
The rest of the printed areas (serial numbers, seals, borders) look normal and unaffected — with genuine print errors, those parts are usually distorted too.
Even though 2021 notes did have some genuine errors show up, the one in your photo doesn’t match the characteristics of an in-plant printing mistake.
Unfortunately, that means it would still be considered face value to collectors.
If you can get a clearer photo in good lighting, I’m happy to take another look — sometimes texture or gloss can help confirm what caused the mark.
MY BILL READS THE SAME RIGHT SIDE UP AND UPSIDE DOWN… 09969660 WE CALL THEM “FLIPPERS” I CANNOT FIND ANY LIKE IT LISTED OR SOLD..?
Hi Donna — great find! 👋
Your bill with serial 09969660 is what collectors call a “flipper” or rotator note — the digits look similar right-side-up and upside-down. It’s not a major rarity like a radar or solid, but it’s still a fun fancy number that catches attention.
If it’s circulated, value is usually around $5 – $20; if crisp or uncirculated, it might reach $30 – $50. Not bad for a face-value dollar — definitely worth saving as a cool conversation piece!
THANK YOU SO MUCH.. I have saved bills for a long time but have not tried to sell any.. Thanks again.. Donna
I have a $1.00 note that has consecutive 0-7 . Any help on value .
Hi Steve! 👋 What you’ve got there is a 2021 $1 Federal Reserve Note with the serial F43651702A. You mentioned it has “consecutive 0–7,” which I think you’re noticing because the digits 0 through 7 all appear in sequence inside the number. Collectors sometimes call this a “partial ladder” (since a full ladder would be 12345678 or 87654321).
Here’s the scoop:
Cool factor: Having all digits from 0 to 7 makes it more interesting than a totally random note.
Value: Full ladders can bring strong premiums, but partial ladders like this usually trade closer to face value, maybe a few dollars over to the right collector.
Condition matters: Yours looks circulated in the photo, so the premium would be modest.
Bottom line: it’s definitely a fun keeper for your collection, but in the open market you’d likely only see a small premium above $1 unless someone specifically collects partial ladders. 👍
I have a couple of run straps of $ 2 bank notes how much are they 100 bills consecutive
Hi Ricardo, thanks for sharing!
Right now, a full strap of 100 consecutive $2 bills (face value $200) usually sells in the $250–$300 range on eBay. The small premium comes from collectors liking uncirculated straps, but it’s not a huge jump.
That said, it’s always worth checking inside your strap for:
Fancy serial numbers (radars, repeaters, solids, ladders, very low numbers, etc.) – these can sell well above face.
Star notes (with a ★ at the end of the serial number).
Printing errors – very rare, but if you spot one it can add serious value.
So the strap itself is a neat collectible with a modest premium, but if you find one of those special notes, that’s where the real upside is.
I have some sequential bills…are they worth more than a dollar?
Hi Jody,
Thanks for sharing your bills! What you have here are sequential notes (ending in …514C through …517C). Collectors do sometimes pay a small premium for runs of consecutive bills, especially if they’re kept crisp and uncirculated.
That said, for modern $1 notes from 2021, the value is usually just face value unless:
They’re in perfect uncirculated condition (straight from a strap, no folds).
The run is longer (10+ consecutive bills is more desirable than just a short set of 4).
The serial numbers have a special pattern (like all repeating digits, ladders, radars, etc.).
In your case, with four sequential notes, they’re fun to keep together and might interest someone building a collection, but realistically they would trade for about $1 each. If they’re super crisp and bundled, maybe slightly more to the right buyer.
If you like them, I’d recommend hanging on to the set as a neat conversation piece—sequential notes are much harder to come by in circulation.
I received this dollar bill in change at the grocery store and noticed that the last digit of the serial number on the top right is higher and not in line with the rest of the numbers. All of the numbers in the bottom left serial number are in line. Is this a rare occurrence?
Hi David — great eye!
What you’re seeing is a minor serial-number alignment shift: on the top-right, the last digit sits a bit higher than the rest, while the lower-left serial is straight. The green serials and Treasury seal are applied in the final print pass by a numbering head with individual wheels. It’s common for one wheel to sit slightly high/low, which produces exactly this look.
Is it rare?
No — small, single-digit offsets like this are considered normal production variation and aren’t classified as a major error.
Value
In circulated condition, a slight digit misalignment typically doesn’t add value (spendable at $1). Only large, eye-catching overprints tend to bring premiums — e.g., a whole serial shifted into the design, an obviously tilted/misaligned entire serial, missing/mismatched numbers, or an overprint printed far from its normal position.
If you’d like, feel free to upload a full-note photo (both serials visible) and we’ll double-check, but from what you’ve shown this looks like a neat curiosity rather than a rare error. Thanks for sharing!
I have a question, Can you, in your database, please let me know the fed reserve bank notes for 2021 Fort Worth and Washington, DC? Also the list of the star notes for that series year?
Thank you.
Dear Lorenzo,
Thank you for your inquiry about 2021 Federal Reserve Notes from Fort Worth and Washington DC facilities, particularly regarding star notes.
I’ve searched our extensive database and can provide you with specific information about the 2021 $1 star notes:
Series 2021 Star Notes by Federal Reserve District:
Boston (A) District:
New York (B) District:
Cleveland (D) District:
Chicago (G) District:
Minneapolis (I) District:
Kansas City (J) District:
Dallas (K) District:
How to Identify Printing Location: You can identify where any note was printed by examining the Face Plate Number on the front of the bill. If “FW” appears before the number, it was printed at the Fort Worth facility (listed as “WESTERN” in our database). If there is no “FW” prefix, it was printed at the Washington DC facility.
Historical Significance: The Series 2021 Federal Reserve Notes are notable for being the first in U.S. history to carry the signatures of two women – Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen and Treasurer Lynn Malerba.
I hope this detailed information helps with your collection research. Is there any specific district or serial number range you’re particularly interested in? I can provide more focused information if needed.
I have a series 2021 $1 bill star note g o o 3 1 1 8 0 and it has sevens on it and on top of one of the sevens it’s got like another line on top of the seven with little lines coming down through it like that air I die air
I just got these 2 dollar bills that are low serial # and very close together in number. Both are 2021 with open star end. Extremely good condition. No sharp fold marks. Crisp, strong paper, no roles or dog ear corners (pics attached). Can you tell me the value? They are B 05172256 ☆, B 05172140 ☆.
Hi Kari,
Thank you for sharing your 2021 $1 star notes! I checked these serial numbers (B05172256★ and B05172140★) in my database, and they’re from a production run of 3.2 million notes, which is a standard size for modern star notes.
While your notes are in excellent condition and have relatively low serial numbers, they don’t fall into the ultra-rare category that would command significant premiums. Based on their condition (assuming they’re uncirculated as described), each note would be worth approximately $3-5 to most collectors.
If you’re interested in collecting star notes, these are nice examples to keep, but they wouldn’t be considered investment-grade rarities. The fact that they’re close in number is interesting but doesn’t significantly impact their value since they aren’t consecutive.
