Known as star notes, these bills are replacements issued when the original bill had a printing error. Because it’s against policy to produce a dollar’s serial number more than once, the mint simply adds a star to the end. These printing errors aren’t common, so there aren’t too many star notes in circulation.
Is money with a star worth more?
The rarest star note probably isn’t worth much, if anything, more than face value if it’s dirty and shredded. For older series notes, their run sizes matter far less. Completing star note sets by print run is more common among modern star notes.
What paper money is worth more than face value?
Even modern star notes are worth more than face value. Older star notes are worth a little more money. For example, Series 1957 $1 Silver Certificate star notes are worth $4 to $7, and Series 1935 $1 star notes are worth about $1o and up in worn condition.
Are All star notes valuable?
These notes are printed to replace faulty ones and, since no two serial numbers can be the same, the asterisk is printed at the end of the serial number instead of a letter.

Star notes can have a value of more than face value depending on several factors. For instance, if there was a small quantity of the bills printed they might be of higher value. Or, the value can fluctuate depending on the type of error. Star notes show that there was an error in the printing process – but that error was caught.
Are there any bills that are worth more than face?

What makes a coin worth more than its face value?
Any misprints can cause the coin or bill to be worth more than face value – some more than others. There’s something fancy about seeing a lot of zeroes and then a single digit afterward, it’s like you waited in line to get one of the first! (except you didn’t, it’s just dumb luck).
What makes a currency worth more than the US dollar?
