When banknotes are printed, occasionally there are notes that are imperfectly printed. These damaged notes are destroyed and replacement notes are printed. Often these replacement notes are marked by special serial numbers or other markings. In the United States, replacement notes are indentified by a star as part of the serial number, and the note is called a Star Note.

He is currently the world's youngest reigning monarch at 28 years old when he became king. Trongsa Dzong, built in 1644, used to be the seat of power of the Wangchuck dynasty before it became rulers of Bhutan in 1907. Traditionally the King of Bhutan first becomes the Penlop (governor) of Trongsa before being named Crown Prince and eventually King. Built on a mountain spur high above the gorges of the Mangde Chhu, the dzong controlled east-west trade for centuries. The only road connecting eastern and western Bhutan (the precursor to the modern Lateral Road), passed through the courtyard of the dzong. At the command of the penlop the massive doors could be shut, dividing the country in two. |
