A Modern Star Note with a Collectible Serial Pattern

This listing offers a genuine and highly collectible piece of modern United States currency. It is a Series 2017A One Dollar Federal Reserve Note, featuring a star note designation and a serial number containing triple 1s, or 111, in the middle of the sequence. The note was issued by the Federal Reserve Bank of Chicago, designated by District G. The obverse features the familiar portrait of George Washington, while the reverse displays the Great Seal of the United States.

Understanding the Star Note Designation

The star symbol at the end of the serial number indicates this is a replacement note, printed by the Bureau of Engraving and Printing to substitute for defective or damaged notes discovered during the production process. Star notes are distinguished by the star replacing one of the letters in the serial number. Because they are produced in smaller quantities than regular issues, they are scarcer and highly sought after by collectors. The concept of star notes dates back to the early twentieth century, when the BEP introduced them as a way to track replacements without disrupting the sequential numbering system of standard notes.

Understanding the Serial Pattern: Triple 1s

A serial number containing three identical digits in a row is a recognized fancy serial type known as a triple or three-of-a-kind pattern. This serial displays 111 consecutively in the sequence, creating a visually striking pattern that collectors actively seek.

Federal Reserve District Designation

The G prefix in the serial number indicates this note was issued by the Federal Reserve Bank of Chicago, Illinois, designated as District 7. The Chicago district serves northern Illinois and Iowa, as well as parts of Indiana, Michigan, and Wisconsin.
