PEGASUS REPORTERS, LAGOS | DECEMBER 02, 2022
A RARE dollar bill has sold for nearly $30,000 due to a simple error that’s easy to spot. TikToker and rare coin collector TreasureTown shared one of many examples of dollar bills that sold for a hefty price
The star at the end of this number signifies it’s a duplicate note
The bill in the TikTok video looks like any other you may find in your wallet, complete with marks showing where it was folded up.
Upon further inspection, the poster reveals that the serial number to the left of Washington’s face has a star at the end. This is called a Star Note, which are also known as Replacement Notes.
These are markings that the Bureau of Engraving and Printing (BEP) uses to replace misprinted and damaged currency before it gets released into circulation.
The TikToker showed how this dollar sold for $29,900 in 2008 despite signs of wear. Even if you don’t spot an error like this one, Star Notes are rare and you should hang onto one if you find it.
In order for your dollar to be worth big bucks, the expert said it must have the letter B in front of the serial number and be dated 2013.
If you have these two factors, head to Star Note Lookup and type in the information from the dollar.
