It was my birthday yesterday and I still don't have a star note.:icon_e_sad:

My wife worked in a bank and a few turned up there -the accountant had a standing rule to report them to him. They were replaced and never seen again by the staff, He wasn't silly.:derisive:

I can do better than that! A proper stamped star (or how about a smiley?) and red, blue or black.:biggrin:
What would one of those be worth on eBay?

I have quite a few " unfiddled" $1 notes spare ( just no star jobbies) that I can send you for your "dollary" collection if you want:ok:

Never heard of these before, why did they mint the star there? What makes them so valueable?

Star note my dad got from the bank back in the day. He folded it and kept it in his wallet until he gave it to me a decade or so later in the late 80's.

A last prefix Coombs-Randall: very nice. Even with the folds that's worth something.

Folded in the wallet for around 10 years, the ink had transferred and the note was generally worse for wear. But I'm pretty happy to have it. Got it for nothing! :)
