    • actaully it depends on how old the bill is. back in the day they used “SILVER CERTIFICATES” instead of “FEDERAL RESERVE NOTES”…. if it has an asterisk and is a “SILVER CERTIFICATE” hang on to it…. otherwise let it go

      According to “How Stuff Works”:
      “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. The replacement notes have a sequence of their own, using the star as their final “letter.”
      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.”
