What does the star after the serial on a dollar bill for?
914140
It has replaced a bill of the same serial number that had an error.  It is a collectors item so don't spend it - it's worth more than a dollar to a collector.

Just a guess....\nSine the pyramid is the house of eternal life it may be that the Pharoah is watching over his old town he ruled so he can see how the town is being ruled now he's passed\n\nagain just a guess\n\n\nI Looked It Up Here's what I Found\n\nThe reverse of the one dollar bill has an ornate design that incorporates the Great Seal of the United States, and it is of noted interest to historians and numerologists for the symbols contained therein.\n\nTo the left is the reverse of the seal which portrays an unfinished pyramid. The separated cap of the pyramid, portraying the all-seeing eye, symbolizes that the United States is still far from finished. The shadow cast by the pyramid from the rising sun represents the undiscovered lands to the west. The sun, which is rising, represents that a new nation has begun. The Latin phrase Annuit Cœptis ("He [God] has favored our undertaking") is located above the pyramid. NOVUS ORDO SECLORUM (New Order of the Ages) is shown on a ribbon below the pyramid. Written at the base of the pyramid in Roman Numerals is MDCCLXXVI or 1776, the year the United States Declaration of Independence was signed.\n\nThe eye above the pyramid is similar to one of the symbols of the Free Masons. This symbol is also popular among conspiracy theorists to have connections with the Illuminati secret society.

The United States one hundred-dollar bill ($100) is a denomination of United States currency. U.S. statesman, inventor, and diplomat Benjamin Franklin is currently featured on the obverse of the bill, while Independence Hall is featured on the reverse. (It is one of two current notes that does not feature a U.S. president). It is the largest denomination that has been in circulation since c.1969 when higher denominations were retired.\n\nThe first $100 notes (called United States Notes or “Legal Tenders”) were issued by the Federal Government in 1862 and featured a vignette of an American eagle. \n\nThe first use of Benjamin Franklin’s portrait on $100 notes was on the first series of Federal Reserve Notes, Series 1914. \n\nThe $100 note is the largest denomination currently issued in the United States. \n\nThe life span of a $100 Federal Reserve Note is 9 years. (Other denominations have different life spans.) \n\nBeginning with Series 1996, $100 Federal Reserve Notes feature large portraits, watermarks in the paper, and color-shifting ink. The notes also included micro-printing (small lettering that is hard to replicate); on the face of the note, “USA 100” is within the number in the lower left corner and “United States of America” appears as a line in the left lapel of Benjamin Franklin’s coat. \n\nVignette on the Back of the $100 Note Since Series 1928, the $100 note has featured an engraving of Independence Hall in Philadelphia. The former State House of Pennsylvania, Independence Hall is often called the birthplace of our Nation. Within its walls the Declaration of Independence was signed and the Constitution of the United States was drafted. \nThere is no record that the man and woman standing in front of the hall close to the building are embracing. The hands of the clock on the hall are set at approximately 4:10. There are no records explaining why that particular time was chosen.

The United States one-dollar bill ($1) is a denomination of U.S. currency. The first U.S. President George Washington, painted by Gilbert Stuart, is currently featured on the obverse, while the Great Seal of the United States is featured on the reverse. The one dollar bill has the oldest design of all U.S. currency currently being produced. The obverse debuted in 1963 when the $1 bill first became a Federal Reserve Note and the reverse debuted in 1935.\n\nThe Bureau of Engraving and Printing says the "average life" of a $1 bill in circulation is 22 months before it is replaced due to wear. Approximately 45% of all U.S. currency produced today are one dollar bills.\n\nAll $1 bills produced today are Federal Reserve Notes. One dollar bills are delivered by Federal Reserve Banks in blue straps.\n\nIf it is older then this it could be worth considerably more then a dollar.\n\n1862: The first $1 bill was issued as a Legal Tender Note (United States Note) with a portrait of Salmon P. Chase, the Treasury Secretary under President Lincoln. \n1869: The $1 United States Note was redesigned with a portrait of George Washington in the center and a vignette of Christopher Columbus sighting land to the left. The obverse of the note also featured green and blue tinting. Although this note is technically a United States Note, TREASURY NOTE appeared on it instead of UNITED STATES NOTE. \n1874: The Series of 1869 United States Note was revised. Changes on the obverse included removing the green and blue tinting, adding a red floral design around the word WASHINGTON D.C., and changing the term TREASURY NOTE to UNITED STATES NOTE. The reverse was completely redesigned. This note was also issued as Series of 1875 and 1878. \n1880: The red floral design around the words ONE DOLLAR and WASHINGTON D.C. on the United States Note was removed. \n1886: The first woman to appear on U.S. currency, Martha Washington, was featured on the $1 Silver Certificate. The reverse of the note featured an ornate design that occupied the entire note, excluding the borders.\n\n1890: One dollar Treasury or "Coin Notes" were issued for government purchases of silver bullion from the silver mining industry. The reverse featured the large word ONE in the center surrounded by an ornate design that occupied almost the entire note. \n1891: The reverse of the Series of 1890 Treasury Note was redesigned because the treasury felt that it was too "busy" which would make it too easy to counterfeit. More open space was incorporated into the new design. \n1891: The reverse of the $1 Silver Certificate was redesigned. More open space was incorporated into the new design. \n1896: The famous "Educational Series" Silver Certificate was issued. The entire obverse was covered with artwork of allegorical figures representing "history instructing youth" in front of Washington D.C. The reverse featured portraits of George and Martha Washington surrounded by an ornate design that occupied almost the entire note. \n\n1899: The $1 Silver Certificate was again redesigned. The obverse featured a vignette of the U.S. Capitol building behind a Bald Eagle perched on an American Flag. Below that were small portraits of Abraham Lincoln to the left and Ulysses S. Grant to the right. \n1917: The obverse of the $1 United States Note was changed slightly with the removal of ornamental frames that surrounded the serial numbers. \n1918: The only large-sized, Federal Reserve Note-like $1 bill was issued as a Federal Reserve Bank Note(not to be confused with Federal Reserve Notes). Each note was an obligation of the issuing Federal Reserve Bank and could only be redeemed at that corresponding bank. The obverse of the note featured a borderless portrait of George Washington to left and wording in the entire center. The reverse featured a Bald Eagle in flight clutching an American Flag. \n1923: Both the one dollar United States Note and Silver Certificate were re

It's called 'billing' .... there's top billing, middle billing, low end billing ... top billing is the guy with the best agent .... the most important billing is before the title .... the 'and' designates top billing as well, but usually denotes a cameo or is a secondary but equally important star who requested seperate billing from the top names, or it was the only place left!... but it can result from a number of different things in the negotiation process ... yes they negotiate thier billing! as well as everything else

Hiya King. Contestants get a bunch of numbered suitcases that have dollar amounts in them. There is corresponding numbers on a lighted billboard. Every time a case is opened the dollar amount inside the case is removed from the board. The idea is to not open the case with the million dollars until the end. As the cases are opened a producer in a darkened booth makes cash offers to the contestants based on how they are doing in the game. That should get you started, It took us about 2 shows to figure out what the heck was going on.\n\nMay GOD richly bless you.

i'm not sure how accurate this is but apparently the dollar ($) symbol originally started off as a letter "U" superimposed onto a letter "S" to indicate that the currency was from the US and over time the bottom of the U was dropped off as the dollar was adopted by other countries so it was just left as an S with 2 vertical lines through it.\ni'm not too sure about the other currency symbols though.

The origin seems to be unknown - and be aware of the fact, that in earlier days it was a 1 dollar coin.\n(see link)

U.S. currency features something known as "series dates." A series date does not indicate the year a particular bill was printed, but rather the date of the design featured on that bill. That is, if the $5 bill were redesigned in 1929, all subsequent $5 bills issued using that design would be marked "Series 1929," regardless of when they were actually printed. (When a minor change is made to a bill's features — such as a substitution of signatures due to the appointment of a new Treasurer of the United States or Secretary of the Treasury — the series year remains the same, but a letter is appended to it. Thus a minor change to "Series 1929" currency would result in bills marked "Series 1929A.") \n\nSmall wonder, then, that some people assumed the 2006 release of newly-redesigned $10 bills bearing a legend reading "Series 2004" was the product of some sort of printing error. \n\nThe series date isn't an error, though. Although the most recent re-designs of the $10, $20, and $50 bills were authorized for 2004, the release of the denominations incorporating these new designs was (as in the previous wave of currency re-designs in 1996-2000) staggered across several years. Thus, although all three denominations bearing the latest designs are technically "Series 2004" bills, the newest $20 bills were first put into circulation at the end of 2003, the new $50 bill was first released at the end of 2004, and the new $10 bill wasn't issued until March 2006. Confusing, perhaps, but not a mistake as far as the U.S. Bureau of Engraving and Printing is concerned.

It probably just made more sense to describe the amount and then the currency.  I see some written descriptions outside the US use the currency symbol afterward, like 637$.  Maybe we should all start doing it...:-)

Well it might look a little prejudicial cause a penny is pretty worthless plus it's brown.  How about a quarter, then you can call someone who cares.\n\nAnd thanks for the two points.

The "series" date on paper currency appears on the face of the note at the bottom right of the portrait. The series date without a suffix letter indicates (a) the year production started after approval of the original design, (b) when there was a major revision to the currency note design, or (c) when the manner of printing changed. A minor revision in the design or a change in the signature of the Treasurer is indicated by an addition of a suffix letter to the series year. The series date does not change each calendar year as it does on coins. The year in which the currency is actually printed is not indicated on the note.

Simple : A fake dollar will not have the face on the right , some you can't see the face but their still real . There 's a someting a policeman told me when someone gave me a fake bill he said put the money up to a light and if it has a USA five or one or just what ever bill you got ! if is has that USA black written line going through the bill on any side it's real. That is one thing people can't copy! And some people don't even notice that.
