I have a 2001 series $1.00 bill....and on the front where the serial numbers are it starts with A then it gives the serial number but it dosen't end with a letter it ends with a green star...I have never seen one like this before and i have looked at many 2001 series.. Is this normal or is it a misprint? any info would be greatly appreciated.

allie_4406 is correct. It is a replacement bill. There is a 2003 $1.00 star note for sale on msnbc shopping valued at $140.00.
Look at the website www.ronscurrency.com

It's called a star note. What happens is that when they check the money at the Federal Reserve Printing presses, they go though a stack of bills and look for a misprint. If one of the bills is a misprint, the whole stack is shreaded and destroyed and a replacement stack with stars at the end of the numbers is put into the slot. However, it is stressed that star notes are not replacement bills.

I HAVE SOME BILLS LIKE THAT!!! ANYWAY HERE IS WHY THERE IS A STAR!!!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 of the last digit in the series. SO IT IS A MISPRINT AND IT IS ALSO MEANT TO BE THERE IT IS VERY STRANGE!!!

Your dollar bill is not a misprint, it's called a star note, and every year, millions are produced, by the treasury department.

It is unlikely that there will be misprint.
Perhaps u received a special edition. Maybe u can check with the local bank.

This is referred to as a "star note" amongst collectors. I'm not sure how much of a premium it would carry, or what percentage of bills overall have the star instead of a letter/number.

It's called a star note. I would DEFINETLY hang on to this one. Some day it will be worth more than the $1 it is now.
