Background Information

The Series 1969A Federal Reserve Notes were printed during a period of major economic and monetary transition in the United States. Star Notes, identifiable by the ★ symbol at the end of the serial number, were produced in comparatively limited runs to replace sheets removed during quality inspection.

Because many 1969A notes saw heavy circulation, Superb Gem Uncirculated EPQ survivors are significantly more difficult to obtain. The St. Louis District (H) is also known for lower Star Note production relative to some other Federal Reserve Banks, adding to the scarcity of this variety.

High-grade Star Notes from this era continue to gain interest from both new and advanced collectors due to their condition rarity and strong long-term demand.
