Why Currency Has Star

Paper currency is printed and finished in sheets of 12 subjects. The finish includes imprinting the numbers series. It occasionally happens after a serial number is imprinted that the bill is discarded because of some imperfection. Bills discarded are replaced with a perfect bill which has been prepared for such an emergency and bears a number not in the regular series, but which is distinguished by a star preceding the number.
