Why banknotes have an asterisk
The reason behind this manufacturing error can be explained by the probable use of the asterisk as a form of internal control of defective banknotes.
With this, when they were produced at the Mint, it was easier to identify the banknotes that needed to be replaced through the symbol. However, some ended up entering circulation by accident.
In addition, a procedure for discarding these defective banknotes ended up making these banknotes much more difficult to find in circulation. And with that, they ended up getting more and more expensive.
Not only this error, but others can also be found on banknotes and coins. And with that, they can be considered rare and can be sold for much higher prices to collectors. Another example of appreciation of coins are those commemorating the cup season.
