What does it mean if there is a star on the beginning of a note?

I have a 1957 $1 Silver Certificate that has a Star on the beginning of the serial. I know if it is at the end of the serial that means its a replacement note. I cannot locate any information that will let me know what it means if it is in the beginning. Any answer is appreciated.What does it mean if there is a star on the beginning of a note?The star after the serial number is a replacement note that was issued to take the place of a defective note that was discovered. Since it's too cost-prohibitive to re-issue the same serial number, it's easier to print up a bunch of star notes and then use them to fill the stack once the defects are pulled out. Most star notes don't command a premium unless they are uncirculated, and/or have a real interesting serial number. You might try visiting the Bill Collectors' and Numismatic Forum to see if it has some collector's value.What does it mean if there is a star on the beginning of a note?Call up a coin collector shop or a numismatic exchange. Or call your bank. You will find an expert by doing this or something else related to currency collecting.
