Large size star notes were first issued in 1910. Star notes were pre-printed notes used by the BEP ,to replace notes found to be unfit for circulation due to misprints or errors. They were inserted in to replace defective notes due to misprinting at the BEP.
All large size stars notes are rare as very few were saved during the hard times. Most all of your currency notes have stars notes after the 1910 printing.
The
Bureau of Engraving and Printing's (BEP)
takes you to the official government site of the BEP
for some interesting information and facts on all of
our US currency.
US Papermoney will take you to a site that
is full of information on everything you ever wanted
to know about our US currency. Almost everything
anyway. Very cool site!
The American Numismatics Association (ANA) is a
professional organization for those who want to
further learn about US coins and currency.
PMG and
PCGS are the only two TRUE independent
currency-grading services available. I highly
recommend these two companies for those of you who
want to get their currency certified and graded for
insurance purposes or simply, a peace of mind.
