Question

Has anyone heard anything about the one dollar bill with a star printed after the serial number being worth something

Answer 1

Here is the Fact sheet on Star notes from the US Bureau of Engraving and Printing. They do have a modest value over face as a collectible.

Star Notes
When an imperfect note is detected during the manufacturing process after the serial number has been overprinted, it must be replaced with a new note. A "star" note is used to replace the imperfect note. Reusing that exact serial number to replace the imperfect note is costly and time consuming. The "star" note has its own special serial number followed by a star in place of a suffix letter.

The serial number of the imperfect note that was removed is not used again in the same numbering sequence.
