Where can I sell my Star note bills?

Star notes are, of course, less common than regular notes, but not every star note is considered particularly rare or valuable.

Serial numbers
“A serial number '1' for a 1976 $2 bill would be worth $20,000 or more. But [for] a majority of those people holding 1976 $2 bills, they are only worth face value. There are very few that actually exceed face value.” Other high-value serial numbers include what collectors call “solid” or “ladders.”
The fact that they are star notes in uncirculated condition will make them worth about $ 4 to $ 6 dollars each monetarily. With respect to collector value, there should be added value since you have consecutive bills, probably an additional $ 3 dollars per bill if sold together.
Though a 'Star Note' is exceedingly rare compared to the millions & millions of 'normal' dollar bills produced by the US government, this does not typically make the note tremendously valuable. If this note is brand new & in near-perfect condition, it may be worth $1.50 to $2.00.
Typically in numismatic marketplaces Series 2009 $100 Federal Reserve Notes with a STAR sell for $120 to $130. Series 2017 $50 Federal Reserve Notes with a star sell for $25 to $28.

Typically a 1953 red seal in this condition would be worth $5-10. However due to being a star note, I would value it around $15-25. You probably know this, but star notes were issued to replace bills that were damaged in production. It is only a small percentage that are replaced.
Are star notes worth keeping?
The condition of a note plays a HUGE role in it's value. The rarest star note probably isn't worth much, if anything, more than face value if it's dirty and shredded. For older series notes, their run sizes matter far less. Completing star note sets by print run is more common among modern star notes.

Are $2 bills worth anything?
Because they're still circulating, most $2 bills are worth exactly that -- $2. Any $2 bill dating back to 1976 that has been in circulation -- and any uncirculated versions since 2003 -- are worth only their face value, USCA says.
If the $2 bill was minted and printed before 1976, it would likely be worth more than its face value on the collectibles market. In some cases, it might be worth only $2.25. The highest value is $4,500 or more for uncirculated notes from 1890, although most of those bills range from $550 to $2,500.

If your $2 bill dates back to 1886 and has a red seal with a silver certificate, you're in luck. That bill is worth $4,500. A number of other iterations of the $2 bills with a red seal can also fetch well over a $1,000. Bills with brown seals are also very valuable.
