Does a star next to the serial number on Paper money affect its value?

In many cases a "star note" is slightly more valuable than a standard one. The star by the serial number means that the note is a replacement for one damaged before it was released to the Federal Reserve system. These notes are called "star notes." While they're obviously less common than notes without a star, they're actually not unusual; the only reason they're not often found in circulation is that curious individuals and collectors tend to take them out of circulation as soon as they are discovered. Only 11% of any series of notes have a star. The value of the note will be based on the series and its condition.

What does the star mean on some US paper money?
The star next to the serial number means that the bill in question was a replacement bill. During the production process, sheets of sequentially numbered bills are produced, with bills wrapped in groups of 100 wtiht serial numbers ending in 00 to 99. If a sheet gets spoiled, or is produced with an error, rather than producing a reprint of the spoiled sheet (and risk potentially having two bills with the same number released into circulation), the Bureau of Engraving and Printing will replace the spoiled sheet with a "star" sheet to keep the numbering system intact.
What is does a star in a serial number mean on US paper money?
When a bill or bills are damaged during printing, the Treasury prints new bills to replace the damaged ones. The new notes are technically called Replacement Notes but in practice they're called Star Notes because a star is positioned at the beginning or end of the serial number, replacing one of the letters.Because serial numbers are added to bills mechanically it's impractical to reprint the replacements with exactly the same serial numbers as the damaged ones. Instead, the number of damaged notes is counted and when enough have been identified, an equal quantity of replacement notes are printed in a separate run with their own set of serial numbers. These bills all have a leading or trailing star to indicate that they're replacements and not originals.Because "star notes" are uncommon many collectors will pay a premium for them. The amount varies with the bill's denomination and condition. A worn $1 star note may only bring 25¢ to $1 extra, but an uncirculated $100 star note could sell for significantly more than its face value.
Why does a one dollar bill have star after the serial numbers?
The star signifies that it is a replacement bill for one that was destroyed earlier. Any denomination bill can have a star in its serial number. These bills are rarer than non-star bills and can be of value to a collector (greater than face value). But like most collectibles condition is everything for coin and paper money collectors. To get top value for the bill it must be in crisp, torn, folded condition or like new. If the bill is circulated with tares, folds, dirt, etc... the value goes down significantly and may only be worth face value as a normal bill.
