$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.

Any thoughts to this $5 minor circulation, but I’ve kept it flat in this thick transparent sleeve for years
Hi Jason — nice note. From the photo, this looks like a Series 2013 $5 rather than 2003. The serial number ML00001316H is the interesting part: it’s a low serial number with four leading zeroes.
It is not in the strongest low-number range like under 1,000 or under 100, but 1,316 is still collectible enough that some low-serial collectors may like it. Based on similar eBay listings/ended results, I’d think of it as a modest-premium note — roughly around $10–$20, maybe a little more if you find the right buyer.
I would not certify this one, since grading would likely cost more than the premium. Keeping it flat was a good move; just make sure the sleeve is PVC-free/archival-safe.
