I got a one dollar bill with a star on it is it worth money?

Question

it is by the cireol number and i 2003a

Answer 1

Sounds like a silver certificate. Take it to your local bank for indentification.

Answer 2

it is worth face value to financial institutions and uncle sam, however it is worth more to coin and money collectors.  collectors will many times pay a premium to get ahold of the bill.  condition, age, and amount of star notes released in that particular year will vary the amount they would offer.  go into a coin shop, and they might buy it from you.  here is an explanation of the star...

Answer 3

Is the star drawn onto the bill with a pen or marker? If it is, then it most likely is a real dollar bill. If it is actually part of the design of the bill, then... no.

Answer 4

On a strap of new bills from the Federal reserve it says, "if the numbers on notes in this package do not run in sequence, the substituted notes are indicated by a star."

It means the first time they printed them they were imperfect and the second time they printed them (with the same serial number) they used a star.
