A replacement note is a piece of paper currency that was printed to replace an error or damaged note that was uncovered prior to leaving the control of the government who initially printed it. In the United States and other places, these notes are distinguished from non-replacement notes with the addition of a small star that is included with the serial number. Some replacement notes can be exceedingly rare. The better quality control that Bureau of Engraving and Printing has during a given year, the fewer replacement notes that will need to be created.
