Replacement of defectively printed banknotes

I know only defective notes of India. I want to know much about  defective notes of other countries. So I created this topic.

INDIA
In india, the RBI has adopted the star series numbering system for replacement of defectively printed banknotes at the printing presses. The star series banknotes will look exactly like the existing Mahatma Gandhi series banknotes, but will have an additional character "*"  ( star ) in the number panel in the space between the prefix and the number.

Note : the star mentioned above is an 8 pointed star.

I have 2-3 of this type of banknotes.

100 rupees


50 rupees

not all defective notes in finland have  star but these 10 mk 1963 do and here's also 2 german banknotes that have the same star

   nice  bank notes,but your  star is little different  from Indian star note.

so far Finland,India , USA have a star character for replacement of defective  banknotes.
Do all  nations have 'star ' for replacement of defective  banknotes or some other charactersÂ ??

Cita: adithyasraoso far Finland,Germany, India  have a star character for defective  banknotes.

no, Germany did not have stars for this, this is a type where all notes have a star.
I think USA started with the star for "replacement notes" (that is the term, because they replace defective notes, they are not the defective notes themselves)

Most other countries use Z prefixes for them, but then, some notes have Z prefixes for normal issues

do you have any images of this notes??

I'm new to banknotes, so what do you mean by defective notes?
From the above comments, I'm guessing they are replacements, like for like.

So does that mean that in the first example the note with the serial "5CC J3J448", was damaged in some way, so they printed another one and gave it the serial "5CC*J3J448"?

yes, but  it  is 5CC*131448  .number 1 on indian bank notes look similar to alphabet  'j ' .  

I knew it didn't make sense to have J's in there, considering that the other note was all numbers in the second part, but I did it anyway.

I didn't know that but the finnish notes are replacement notes

both are genuine or any one of these two is fake?

The indonesian replacement banknotes have an X-prefix:




I have also some Yugoslavian replacement banknotes (Z-prefix), but currently I have no picture avaible of those.

 Yes the US has star notes, or replacement notes. Our notes go through three different printing. The note, seals, and the series number. The star is placed at the end of the number.


Early star notes have the star in front of the number

is the replacement note worth same as the normal notes  or more?  because i have 4 star notes, i got all of them in circulation.

They're usually worth more than normal banknotes

In Canada there is no special marking on current banknotes to determine replacement notes. There is a catalog of all Canadian notes with serial number prefix and serial number range for replacement notes. Older notes used to use a star or contain an X in the serial number prefix.
