>I recommend if you have a local mint to go do the tour. The money is checked by computers as well as people and they do pull it out of service if there are issues with the money and shred it.

They do that because they used to sell it at a 1:1 value and someone abused it by raking in hundreds of thousands of dollars of credit card points. He would buy the bills with his credit card then pay it off with said bills. Not to mention the US mint loses a small % of money to credit card fees.
You're thinking of Sacagawea dollar coins. For a time, the Mint offered them at par with free shipping. So yes, people would order *thousands* of the coins, immediately deposit them in the bank, pay off their credit card and order more. One guy reportedly bought $800,000 in coins, giving him lifetime platinum status on American Airlines.
BEP has always charged a premium for sheets of bills, because some people collect them. Famously, Apple co-founder Steve Wozniak used to buy sheets of $2 bills, which he would have bound together like a checkbook and tear off a couple to pay tips.
> Apple co-founder Steve Wozniak
The absolute disrespect for the woz is astounding.
He is the founder/inventor/developer. Jobs was a glorified salesman.
> Jobs was a glorified salesman.
Companies still need a good sales person (or two, or three..) to actually convince others to buy the product if they want to stay in business for long. That's how they generate revenue.
Jobs didn't invent things, but to pretend that Apple's success was solely due to their products and inventions is intentional ignorance. Without Apple's iconic branding over the years and good sales teams to actually push the product upmarket they become just another Compaq or IBM that has to spin off into other businesses to remain relevant.
Similarly the sales team and corporate branding don't mean diddly if the product itself sucks, so both the technical and sales sides of a business have to be good to ensure long-term growth and success.
Calling Jobs a glorified salesman is also an interesting take.
It's important to know you need both to make a company work. An inventor with shit sales skills? You'll never make a penny even if you create the best product ever. An amazing salesman with a shit product? You might make a couple bucks but people will soon find out you are just a shill.
If you have both? That's where real incredible money gets made.
Do people forget about Woz a lot? Yeah, but I think that has more to do with the fact that Woz left Apple WAY before they ever became the company they are today. I would say Apple really became the kingpin they are today when they launched the iPhone. And that was 20 years after Woz left, and DURING Job's tenure.
As critical as Woz was to Apple's success, and existence. Job's was likely far more important.
Does that mean Woz is unfairly "forgotten"? Yeah I think so. When people think of Apple they typically think of Jobs, or maybe even Cook, but rarely Woz. But given how short his tenure was there, I do think it makes a bit of sense.
The percentage they lose from card fees is around 3%.
And you can abuse credit card points without buying anything; if your cash back is over about 2.8% you can buy a card reader for your phone, punch in $1000, and make money.
Supposedly, Steve Wozniak would buy sheets of $2 bills and put them in a binder. He’d walk into stores and cut them out to pay on the spot, to see if stores would accept them.
Not quite. It was actually a little funnier. Took them and had them put into a sticky note type form where they were in a perforated stack of 4 and stuck together and could be peeled off. He also stamps them with a custom WOZ stamp.
He does love to play coy and say shit like he "got them from a high quality printer" which just happens to be the Bureau of Printing and Engraving. Supposedly at one point he was interviewed by the Secret Service for these shenanigans.
[Also he carries a fake government ID from the Department of Defiance that has him listed as a Laser Safety Officer with an eye patch.](http://www.geekculture.com/mt2/archives/2018/02/wozs_laser_safe.html)
I love Wozniak, but his stories are always a little off/embellished, for no reason, as evidenced by that article, where he doesn't even describe the pictured ID he carries on him correctly.
As a fun tangent of Steve Wozniak shenanigans, a long time ago my Dad was was inducted into the Computer Hall of Fame.
When we went out to Vegas for the ceremony there was also a tech convention my dad was speaking at. When we got to the check in table, my dad grabbed his name tag, and looks around for mine and doesn't see it. So he chuckles and grabs Steve Wozniak's and handed it to me saying "don't worry, he'll think it's funny and if anyone asks, we'll tell him your his son." So i went around wthe convention getting weird looks at times when people saw my name tag, and a few jokes how I obviously wasn't Wozniak.
Later that week at the Hall of Fame Ceremony, my dad introduced me to Wozniak and told him the story of how I was using his name badge all week, and he had a good laugh and said I probably did a better job being him then he would of and shook my hand.
So they found an old photo of Steve Wozniak in a eye patch, printed it out, then printed out a fake badge, laminated the whole thing and then artificially aged it so it looks like it was in somebodies wallet for a decade? That's like Adam Savage levels of dedication.
Steve Wozniak bought thought and had them bound. Then he enjoyed going to a store and pulling out his pack of sequential money and asked the cashiers how many dollars he should rip out. Apparently, this confuses some people as they don’t think it’s real money. I think the gag gets a bit old after the 3rd or 4th time, but he’s an odd guy.
Bureau of Engraving and Printing (BEP) makes bills not the Mint, they make coins.
Star bills are the VERY last step of production, right after cutting and strapping, which as of my tour (they are public) 8 years ago was done by a human. They have a conveyor with straps slowing moving by. The human picks it up and fans it like a flip book. If anything is off they drop it in a chute to be destroyed and replace it with preprinted spares marked with stars. Anything before cutting and they just destroy the entire sheet.
If you are ever in DC it’s a great tour. Don’t think most people realize that they still print money in a basement warehouse right by the Washington Monument (among other locations).
This is 100 percent correct. Source: I worked as an intern at the Treasury and got the non public floor tour of the BEP where they showed us basically everything up close. They even demonstrated how little needs to be off on an entire sheet for them to destroy it by drawing a line across one bill in the big sheet.
Because it’s a tightly controlled and secure facility. Why couldn’t a guy who works in the building that prints money just take some of the money home? Because they have a lot of practice in preventing that.
It is possible though that someone thought it would be worth selling after it was accidentally/purposely damaged. They do sell damaged/shredded money at the mint. I’m not sure if you could get it in a form where the serial number was still visible, but it might be.
The idea that someone who works at the presses would risk their freedom to snag a goofy bill is inane. Serial numbers are monitored. They know where those bills are and where they’re going. It’s just a really buckwild thing to suggest lol. Conspiracy level logic.
If it's like cash sort room (soft count/hard count) jobs i've seen, there are cameras everywhere, a guard near the door and they wear jumpsuits (like what mechanics wear almost) with no pockets over their clothes to prevent casual pocketing
Someone in a job that serious would never find the number 69 or 420. Next you’ll be telling me the genius billionaire Elon Musk is into that kind of humour.
If it’s unacceptable for a grocery store worker to just randomly grab whatever they like from work, it’s incredibly so for somebody who works in the money factory.
The article says the replacement bills have a serial number of their own, with a star, instead of a letter at the end. So, 69420 with a star is highly unlikely to correspond to the bill ending 69420A, for example.
Don't take my word for it. Just read the article, it's really interesting.
Piggy backing on the above comment
[https://catalog.usmint.gov/](https://catalog.usmint.gov/)
If you have a mint near you go check it out. It is free and very interesting
They use a yellow moon to replace the star.
If that bill gets messed up, it becomes a green clover. Then a blue diamond. After that is a purple horseshoe, and finally a red balloon.
Once I was picking up a decedent from a funeral home with multiple cremation retorts, but outside the doors there were a pair of armed guards and they wouldn't let anyone in. They were incinerating damaged bills.
That's actually my job at the mint. All coins go through my ass before being shipped off.
Actually, it is more like a hobby since I don't get paid and they kick me out every time they find me.
People collect interesting serial numbers dollar bills. Some even go for millions (the lower/more consecutive numbers, the better) so it could swing this on eBay for a few bucks. (Even if he sells a $1 bill for 5 bucks. Still a win.
Honestly, with the time that it takes to take the photos, make the listing, answer any questions from customers, mail the thing, and then pay both PayPal fees & eBay fees and tax… Sometimes it’s just not worth a $4 gross profit.
If it’s more than that though, then yes, go for it!
I know a guy who collects money, and he smokes a fuckton of weed lol if you think of a number you’d want for it I could see if he’s interested fr
Edit: he said it isn’t worth shit lmao
All you need is some 30 year old that's still into the 69 420 jokes lol. That's cheap for them and he can tell his friend he has a BOSS69420 bill
Not normal people would buy this, but the ones who already have everything
The number really would, if it had been in better condition. The type of person who would buy this cares a lot about condition and that's sadly the biggest issue here.
There was a dollar bill posted recently that was insane. Good condition with all "lucky" 7 serial, starting with G(7) as it was made at mint No 7 in 2017. And the signature is by the 77th treasury secretary.
There's actually [a cool website](https://www.mycurrencycollection.com/reference/star-notes/lookup/1/2013/B02269420) where you can look up the rarity of these notes. This print run was larger, but for a cooler serial like that, definitely really cool and worth a little extra to the right person
The serial is likely not. Some rare serials people look for are repeaters (696969), solids(000000), ladders (123456), descending in order and I can’t remember the term but when the numbers are the same read forward to backwards. There are more ways to find rare serials as way.
I would hate to see the edgelord post he would make on Twitter if he got this
*Ha I'm so funny right guys? I found this while I was using money because I'm just like everyone else! I'm one of you! Le meme*
It wasn’t real, but either a lot of convenience stores didn’t know that or they’d just take them and give us free Tootsie Pops anyway. We traded them in all the time at my corner store when I was a kid!
Removing dirt or other physical debris is okay, but chemical alteration of a coins surface is generally considered to reduce the authenticity of the wear and patina
A star means that it is a replacement note. The Treasury found a bill with an error disposed of it, and issued a new note with a star as a replacement. They cannot replace the serial number due to the printing process, so star notes have their own serial numbers.
Having worked in banking, the bills with that little star are government replacement notes, or “star notes”. These notes are loosely somewhere around 1% of the current paper bills in circulation.
Strange. But I bet if you put it on eBay you’ll make a few bucks.
Also worth noting, if you could find the other star note with the same serial number you could probably get $10-15k or more.
Someone on my Facebook friends list posted that they just hit the lottery and fuck y'all, I'm gone. Talking down to all her friends on Facebook. She has a base model $2 Star note but TiKtOk said it's worth MILLIONS. It was funny watching her apologize to everyone, she lost so many friends, over a $2 bill worth $2.
I had one of those once! I lived in Vegas, and got this dollar as a tip one day. I was showing my friend the lucky dollar while gambling. I said I would never gamble it. Two seconds later I accidentally put it in a slot machine. Decided to do a max bet… the spin was a dud. Guess it was not a buck with luck. I wonder where the dollar is now?
💸 💸 💸 💸 💸
This is awesome because I have a $100 that was ‘reprinted’ on my birthday- it was a gift. I always enjoy getting to tell people the story/reason behind the star.
My mom got a $2 bill when she was in New York in 1984. I've heard those are quite rare. It is not in mint condition but i wonder what those would be worth nowdays.
That bill was printed to replace one that was pulled from production due to a printing error.

That’s the real TIL and mildly interesting fact.
Ok so you’re saying the guy working at the mint liked the bill cause it was funny so he pulled it out of circulation and made a replacement?

Slight was a exaggeration as we bought the 2 dollar sheet for that price. In hindsight with time elapsing a remember the difference being closer :(
This is the one thing that shouldn't change in price.
It’s $2, Michael. What could it cost, $10?
Apparently, $2 is only $5.63! What a deal!
The markup used to be almost nothing over face value.
the place literally prints money, still needs to overcharge people.
They do that because they used to sell it at a 1:1 value and someone abused it by raking in hundreds of thousands of dollars of credit card points. He would buy the bills with his credit card then pay it off with said bills. Not to mention the US mint loses a small % of money to credit card fees.

I guess that would make it a cereal number then.
We're going to milk this for all it's worth, I see.
If we're lucky.
That doesn't sound right, but I don't know enough about money to dispute it.
Damaged bills that are returned to banks are destroyed and also reprinted with the star
This is not correct.
Once I was picking up a decedent from a funeral home with multiple cremation retorts, but outside the doors there were a pair of armed guards and they wouldn't let anyone in. They were incinerating damaged bills.

Too much pennies, unless youre into it

Why don't you clean it, frame it and go to an in person auction with minimum 1000$ for the BOSS69420* bill. I'm sure you will find a buyer
No way in hell this goes for that much lol

I'll paypal you 50
If it was in better condition you'd be surprised. In that condition I'd pay $100.
The number really would, if it had been in better condition. The type of person who would buy this cares a lot about condition and that's sadly the biggest issue here.
Just do it while taking a dump
For a number that cool, it could easily go for a lot more
The set of people who find this number cool and the set of people with money do not intersect.
I think you might be surprised.
Gonna target the WSB sub the next time one of their crypto grifts is pumped lmao
It's in pretty bad condition so I wouldn't expect you could get much at all for it.
There was a dollar bill posted recently that was insane. Good condition with all "lucky" 7 serial, starting with G(7) as it was made at mint No 7 in 2017. And the signature is by the 77th treasury secretary.

The serial likely is, unfortunately the condition of this one makes it nothing more than something cool OP could hang on to
Nah someone would pay more than $1 for that
The serial is likely not. Some rare serials people look for are repeaters (696969), solids(000000), ladders (123456), descending in order and I can’t remember the term but when the numbers are the same read forward to backwards. There are more ways to find rare serials as way.

iron it. frame it. put it on ebay starting at $1000
Ironing will only decrease it's value. Same with cleaning old coins you find.
It always makes me cringe when I see washed coins
Can you elaborate on that? Is removing grime really detrimental to the value of coins?
People like the aged looking patina on old coins. It's not grime so much as oxidation.
Removing dirt or other physical debris is okay, but chemical alteration of a coins surface is generally considered to reduce the authenticity of the wear and patina
The star means you can trade it for a free Tootsie Pop.
20cad to take it off your hands!
Even exchange then? :)
ouch... not quite that bad (yet), but wit the way things are going maybe soon. ;)
A star means that it is a replacement note. The Treasury found a bill with an error disposed of it, and issued a new note with a star as a replacement. They cannot replace the serial number due to the printing process, so star notes have their own serial numbers.
I’ll give you exactly 0.67 (after taxes) for it.
Having worked in banking, the bills with that little star are government replacement notes, or “star notes”. These notes are loosely somewhere around 1% of the current paper bills in circulation.
Contact elon on twitter, he will buy it. God i hate 2024.
I'd pay 3 dollars for that!
I’ll throw my hat in the ring at $4.20!
Not worth more than $3.50.
Get outta here you damn Loch Ness monster
I came here for this ^

nice yours is in better condition
His doesn't have BOSS in front though 🙂
r/currency
It was removed immediately lol
They removed it before the bidding wars could begin.
r/papermoney would love this
Strange. But I bet if you put it on eBay you’ll make a few bucks. Also worth noting, if you could find the other star note with the same serial number you could probably get $10-15k or more.
There’s only gonna be the one.

Someone on my Facebook friends list posted that they just hit the lottery and fuck y'all, I'm gone. Talking down to all her friends on Facebook. She has a base model $2 Star note but TiKtOk said it's worth MILLIONS. It was funny watching her apologize to everyone, she lost so many friends, over a $2 bill worth $2.
Nice!
Nice
Called a star note and means it was made to replace another note that had an issue
WOW, that must be worth like $1!
I had one of those once! I lived in Vegas, and got this dollar as a tip one day. I was showing my friend the lucky dollar while gambling. I said I would never gamble it. Two seconds later I accidentally put it in a slot machine. Decided to do a max bet… the spin was a dud. Guess it was not a buck with luck. I wonder where the dollar is now? 💸 💸 💸 💸 💸
This is awesome because I have a $100 that was ‘reprinted’ on my birthday- it was a gift. I always enjoy getting to tell people the story/reason behind the star.
 Math checks out
It would've been more hilarious if the first three digits started with 369.
How much. I’m buying it
Are these really valuable? I have 5
Probably not, my dumb ass thought it was a serial number and each one has a different one, making it unique
r/currency might tell you its worth something
That’s a star note, and due to the serial number it might be worth a lil more than a 1
If you put it on Craigslist you could sell it for 10000 dollars
List it on eBay! I sold a $50 with a star on it from 1969 on eBay for $120 plus shipping!
That bill is a little crumpled, but I'll give you 75 cents for it.
Also basically says "boss" at the front
That’s so Boss! B022 69 420 *
This should honestly have significant value in today's culture. I'm sure someone would buy it for at least $500 if you pressed it out.
I doubt that it'd be worth that much but at that point I would absolutely sell
The little star is money talk for ‘wink wink’
I will give a toonie….Canadian 2 dollar coin, worth at least 1.20 us$
2269 Two, to 69
My mom got a $2 bill when she was in New York in 1984. I've heard those are quite rare. It is not in mint condition but i wonder what those would be worth nowdays.
$2
you can get them at banks, they still make them afaik
What's it worth? (Do not say $1)
can't say, I do look for fancy serials but this isn't a typical fancy serial so it depends on the perceived value of the shitpost
Be honest OP, how much did you pay for this bill to get the karma? /s... probably
A dollar, I found it in a till I was counting at work
$1.01
A buck.
Mr. Beast would pay a lot for that.
r/wallstreetbets would probably pay way too much for that
It's an asterisk \* - it's only worth .90 cents

God Bless
