Is there any significance to the star at the end of the serial number on one dollar bills?

I have two one dollar bills, one from 2001 and another from 2003, both from the federal reserve bank of Atlanta, Georgia, and at the right of the serial number there is a star. I am wondering if there is any significance to it?Is there any significance to the star at the end of the serial number on one dollar bills?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. With replacements notes, a set of serial numbers can still have the proper number of bills even if some of the original bills had to be pulled. The replacement notes have a sequence of their own, using the star as their final "letter." This allows for 99,999,999 possible replacement notes for any given bank, series and denomination. This should be more than enough: According to the Paper Money Collecting FAQ, there's about one error in every 100,000 U.S. bills.

In general, replacement notes aren't worth more than regular bills. However, if you find a replacement note with a particularly interesting serial number -- like 00000001 or 999999999 -- or a large number of consecutively numbered replacement notes that you keep together as a lot, you may have a collector's item on your hands.Is there any significance to the star at the end of the serial number on one dollar bills?yes, it means that the bill is a reprint. the orignal bill with that serial number was in too bad of condition to keep in circulation, they remove the last didgit and replace with a star.Is there any significance to the star at the end of the serial number on one dollar bills?This star represents what is known as a replacement note.

rottfan is right. It could also be that there were misprints in the #'s. The government is only suppose to use the #'s once. It is cheaper to reprint a bill than make a new one.
