I was at work the other night an was looking at the serial numbers on the bills... I pull 4 from the draw.. (of course I replaced what I took with money from my wallet) Can anyone tell me if they are worth anything other than face value? All of them in my opinion are in Fine to extra fine condition.... serial numbers are ...

1 DOLLAR BILL 2003 - L07719562B
1 DOLLAR BILL 2003 STAR NOTE -F10395872*
5 DOLLAR BILL 2003 -FC74141419A
10 DOLLAR BILL 2004- GK00193711A

I'm not posting pics of them cause they are blurry... thanks for your help!!!
 

The star note is worth more than face. Because its new, its not worth much more. the older it gets, the more it will be worth.
 

i'll give you $10 for the lot
 

* star notes are replacement bills for money that was destroyed by the mint -- since no bills may have the same number --the old one is distroyed and a replacement made -- the number is the same but a * is used to show its a replacement bill.--they are single pressed bills while most bills are pressed in a sheet and cut. thus they are "special" to collectors --and should be in prime shape to be of interest

the others are basic money to be spent

No probs, I mix it up a bit with serious IDs & stupid jokes. Its just part of who I am. You will notice a lot of windup merchants on here, but I hope I'm not one of them. I try not to be devious, just funny. You can take it from me that I mean no offence :)
 

* star notes are collectibles -- best prices are often for better shape & older ones just like most coins are.

Rob star notes are worth $10.00 each

Could you direct me to where you got this information? I'm sorry if I am sceptical, but that doesn't sound right to me. A star bill is just a reissued bill.




All modern United States currency contains either a 10- or 11-digit serial number in order to make each bill unique. Ten-digit serial numbers were on all bills until the "new style" came out in 1996. Those bills (and all produced since then) have an 11-digit serial. The serial number consists of the following:

The first letter, only found on the new-style bills, represents the series of the bill. The series indicates the year in which the design of the bill was approved for production. This begins with A, and moves through the alphabet each time a new series is needed (for example, each time there is a new secretary of the treasury, the bill design changes because the secretary's signature is on all currency). You can also find the series of the bill printed directly to the bottom-right of the portrait.
The second letter (or first, if you're looking at an old-style bill) represents the district of the Federal Reserve Bank that your bill was issued from. As there are 12 Federal Reserve Banks, this letter can range from A to L, with A representing Boston, MA, and L representing San Francisco, CA.
The eight numerical digits that follow represent a unique ID number. This number increases sequentially as each bill is printed. Using these digits alone, there would be a possible 99,999,999 bills issued per bank.
The final letter is used to raise the number of possible bills beyond 99,999,999. Altogether, there are a possible 2,499,999,975 serial numbers for each bank!
On occasion, a bill shows up that has a small star in place of the final letter in the serial.


This U.S. one-dollar bill has been marked as a replacement note. Notice the star located at the end of the serial number.
This star represents what is known as a replacement note. When a printing error occurs during a normal press run and renders a set of bills unusable, replacement notes are used instead. With replacements notes, a set of serial numbers can still have the proper number of bills even if some of the original bills had to be pulled. The replacement notes have a sequence of their own, using the star as their final "letter." This allows for 99,999,999 possible replacement notes for any given bank, series and denomination. This should be more than enough: According to the Paper Money Collecting FAQ, there's about one error in every 100,000 U.S. bills.

In general, replacement notes aren't worth more than regular bills. However, if you find a replacement note with a particularly interesting serial number -- like 00000001 or 999999999 -- or a large number of consecutively numbered replacement notes that you keep together as a lot, you may have a collector's item on your hands.

It's ok... sorry for jumpin the gun... thank you for your posts...
 

I see nothing there worth more than face....Even when I do find bills I think might be worth a small premium, I always ask myself... would I be better off saving them or using the money toward buying silver......I've got a lot more silver than bills.... :D...keep looking..
