Item Description

Here is your opportunity to own a $2 STAR NOTE bill from the Federal Reserve Bank of Pennsylvania. Each $2 Bill is in FRESH, CRISP, UNCIRCULATED condition, and was directly removed from untouched wrapped Federal Reserve BEP sealed packs. Each bill comes in a blue display portfolio with a Certificate of Authenticity to guaranty that your bill is an authentic $2 Federal Reserve Star Note. A star note is a bank note that has an asterisk (*), or star, after the serial number. In the US, the Bureau of Engraving and Printing inspects currency for printing errors prior to releasing notes into general circulation. When notes are discovered that have been printed incorrectly (such as having the serial numbers upside down, etc.) the misprinted "error notes" are replaced with star notes because no two bills within a certain series can be produced with the same serial number. They are used to maintain a correct count of notes in a serial number run. By their nature, star notes are extremely scarcer than notes with standard serial numbers and as such are widely collected by numismatists. Some of the highest prices paid for modern U.S. banknotes have been for star notes. Former U.S. President Thomas Jefferson is featured on the obverse of the note. The Signing of the Declaration of Independence by John Trumbull is featured on the reverse. It is the only U.S. Currency note that features two Presidents, John Adams and Thomas Jefferson, and it is one of the most rarely seen BILLS in circulation and actual use.
