Chop Marks on U.S. Bills
Chop marks are small stamps or symbols added to U.S. dollar bills by money handlers abroad to verify authenticity. Common in regions with high counterfeit risk, they show a bill has been checked and accepted.
They can be stars, initials, or other symbols in ink, and don’t damage the bill’s value—though some machines or banks may reject heavily marked notes.
