I’ve been interested in collecting coins and currency since I was a kid, and I make a habit of looking through my till for anything unusual when I have nothing better to at work. Tonight I came across not one, but six star notes, which was pretty cool in and of itself as far as I’m concerned, but one of them was a little unusual:
I was wondering what, if any, significance this has as I’ve never heard of it or seen one with one of each type of star before. The bill is a single from 2003, and the serial number is G08595043*.
If anybody could shed some light on the subject it’d be appreciated. Thanks!
If I’m understanding your question correctly, you are asking why the different types of stars. You may already know that if a bill has a star at the end of a serial number, it is a replacement note issued for a bill of the same serial number that was destroyed or damaged during printing. The different kinds (hollow vs. solid) are just stylistic changes over the years.
Yes, I was curious about the different style of stars on the bills, specifically regarding the one-star-of-each-type [one hollow on the left, one solid on the right] like on this single I found, since I had never seen one with one of each before.
