$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 $2 note that has a red serial number that begins with a star. What might be the significance of this. Thank you.
Hi Ralph — the star at the beginning of the serial number means it is a star note, also called a replacement note. These were printed to replace notes that were damaged or rejected during production, so collectors generally consider them more desirable than regular notes.
The red serial numbers and red seal are normal for 1953B $2 Legal Tender Notes, but the star is the important part. Value depends heavily on condition. A circulated 1953B $2 red seal star note can still bring a modest premium over face value, while a crisp uncirculated or professionally graded example can be worth more.
If you can, please upload clear photos of the front and back of the note. That would help narrow down the condition and a more realistic value range.
