Yeah it can be spent without regret.

Nice though you know about the star notes. You can go to that website and input the serial number(with first letter), denomination, and series(year) on any star note 1980 and up. If its rare it depends on condition to determine how much it is worth. Im not too knowledgeable on value, but if yours came from the 128,000 run in the link I have, face +100 bucks wouldnt be out of the question, in that condition(which i'd say informally is average/above avg)

My most prized bill at the moment is:

http://www.mycurrencycollection.com/reference/star-notes/lookup/100/2009A/ld00005269*

Has three things going for it:

serial number is low(5,269/99mil)
Low print run(320,000 notes)
low number of total notes in that star series(960,000)

I wanna say I could sell it for 200 easily, but i havent tried yet.

So yeah, definitely be on the lookout for star notes. about 1-2 bills per every hundred bills is a star note(all denominations/series(years)), and its like playing the free lottery by inputting the data in mycurrencycollection to check its rarity. if its rare set it aside, it never loses value below face, if it isnt, spend it.

Ive heard about 1 our of every 20 star notes you see will be rarer, but i dont know. the past 8 billion star notes ive checked it seems like all came from print runs of 3.2million
