United States One Dollar Federal Reserve Note (Star Note)

This item is a United States One Dollar Federal Reserve Note, featuring the portrait of George Washington on the obverse. The note is rectangular, made from a blend of 75% cotton and 25% linen paper with embedded red and blue security fibers, giving it a distinctive texture and durability. The primary colors visible are green for the serial numbers, seal, and some intricate design elements, and black for the main text, portrait, and borders. The note exhibits standard US currency design, with a prominent 'FEDERAL RESERVE NOTE' header and 'THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA' below it. A notable feature is the serial number 'B03524379*' which includes a star ('*') at the end, indicating it is a 'star note.' Star notes are replacement notes for those damaged during the printing process or for specific print runs. The Federal Reserve Bank seal with the letter 'B' is visible to the left of Washington's portrait, which correlates to the New York Federal Reserve District. The series year, 'SERIES 2021,' is located to the right of the portrait. The signatures of the Treasurer of the United States (Lynn Rogan Malerba) and the Secretary of the Treasury are present below the serial number. The condition appears to be circulated, with some creasing and visible wear consistent with normal use, though no major tears or significant damage are immediately apparent. The craftsmanship is typical of modern US currency, characterized by fine line engraving and microprinting for security purposes. This particular note is significant due to its 'star note' status, which can sometimes increase its collectibility depending on rarity and condition, especially for specific series or print runs.
