Star notes are really fun and if you wanna get into like currency collecting and like currency hunting, I think this is the best way to do it is with star notes. So basically when they're printing money, they have like quality control and they look for problems with the money. Like maybe the money will be miscut, like it'll be cut wrong, maybe there'll be a printing air, like it didn't print right, there was a misprint somewhere. Maybe the paper got like, the printer jam, like anything that could go wrong with printing, it probably goes wrong when they're printing money. So they'll take out the money that was printed wrong and then write down the serial number. But they can't just use the same serial number because they don't print two notes with the same serial number. So once a serial number has been used, they have to do a new one, right? So what they do is they put a star next to them when they reprint them. So this way they know that they've printed the same amount of money but they're denoting that some of them are errors. I feel like I explained this so bad, but let me know if this makes sense. It's basically a replacement bill and it helps them keep track of money that they've used old serial numbers without using old serial numbers. Because then everything might kind of get mixed up, right? So some of them are worth face value, but some of them, if they, if they, like, if they, like, limited run and they only printed like 250,000 or like less than half a million star notes, people who collect star notes like me will specifically seek them out. So for example, if they had four star note runs in 2014, I might try and get a star note from each run. I don't like, I mean, they printed 550,000 star notes each in 2014, which I don't think they printed any star notes in 2014, so I don't know why I used that as an example. But, um, it's kind of exciting. It's basically a replacement bill and it helps them keep track of money that they've used old serial numbers without using old serial numbers.
