ackerman-migration Posted August 4, 2007 Report Share Posted August 4, 2007 How do collectors obtain packs of 100 $5 new uncirculated "star" bills? I know you sometimes can get packs of uncirculated "nonstar" bills from your bank, but what about the "stars?" I am, of course, asking about current issues - 2003A or 2006. Also, what kind of premium do these packs command over face value - both for nonstars and stars? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MunkyMan95 Posted August 4, 2007 Report Share Posted August 4, 2007 As far as I'm aware, you can't request Star Packs. It's a luck of the draw kind of thing. That being said, I'm sure you could get one on eBay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peaches1-migration Posted August 6, 2007 Report Share Posted August 6, 2007 I bought a pack at Heritage auction last year for about $600. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Conder101 Posted August 6, 2007 Report Share Posted August 6, 2007 After the series ends and they start producing the new series, the BEP will release the remaining stars from the old series. If they have a fair number of sheets there can be quite a few fl packs of stars released. It just happens to be the luck of the draw if you happen to get them. If you can work upa good relationship with your local teller they might be able to tip you off if a new brick of currency comes in. (I would think that probably only the larger banks get in full unopened bricks.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty cool (and lucky!) --Beast Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
