So I'm in a bar on St. patty's day. I try to buy a beer but the bartender looks at one of my dollar bills funny and hands it back. Says it's counterfeit. So I take it back and hand him another dollar. Turns out the bill in question is a silver certificate from 1928. The number is 23242234A. The names are Woods and Mellon. Am I rich?

Paulsgems - When a note has a "star " following the serial number ,It was due to the fllowing reasons #1 - Durning printing they find a note that is defective in any way ,it is destoried and a new note is printed in its place, ( The STAR indicates this happened, They can not print the serial number ( COPY ) except this way. ON FEDERAL RESERVE NOTES _THE STAR COMES BEFOR THE SERIAL NUMBER , NOW also when a note comes back into the tresaury and is in bad shap ,it is destroyed and a star note takes its place ,..

Values on " STAR " notes are sometimes DRAMATICALLY HIGHER!!!


I hope this helps, let me know ::: F.B.E.
