2017 $1 Frn L10926401-500 Bep Pack Stars

  
#100 CONSECUTIVE STARS "STAR PACK". They are no longer printing star notes. This pack you are seeing is from us opening up a sealed brick of #1000 stars. Fresh BEP banded choice to gem uncirculated star pack.

From the BEP NEWS RELEASE MARCH 2023. The new equipment will operate in a manner that will result in nonconsecutive sequencing of new straps of notes.

Even more significant from a collector's standpoint. The new equipment will not produce the star notes that replace imperfect notes in a strap of newly printed notes. Star notes will continue to be produced by traditional banknote production equipment until further notice. The new printing process means that future serial number patterns in a strap may contain gaps and will no longer be in consecutive sequence. The first note in a non-sequential strap is not expected to have a serial number ending in "01" and the last is not expected to have a serial number ending in 00.

The transition period for the new printing process will last several years and will be phased in by denomination, starting this year. NS-LEPE note packaging and labeling will be indistinguishable from sequential note packaging. 14 day no questions asked return.
