Series 2009 $20 Star Note Federal Reserve Note

This item is a United States twenty-dollar bill, specifically a Series 2009 Federal Reserve Note. The currency features a portrait of Andrew Jackson on the obverse, rendered in the modern large-portrait style began with the 1998 redesign. A critical distinguishing feature is the serial number 'JD 00454636 *', where the trailing asterisk indicates it is a 'Star Note.' Star notes are replacement bills issued when a printing error is detected in a regular run, making them scarcer and highly collectible. The note displays the green Treasury seal on the right and the black Federal Reserve District seal for Cleveland (District 4) on the left. The paper composition is the standard 75% cotton and 25% linen blend, featuring embedded red and blue security fibers and color-shifting ink on the bottom-right numeral. The condition of the note appears to be circulated, showing a heavy vertical center fold and several smaller horizontal creases, suggesting a grade in the 'Very Fine' to 'Extra Fine' range depending on paper crispness. It is currently housed in a clear protective plastic sleeve to prevent further environmental damage.
