daviscfad Pillar of the Community United States 4541 Posts	Posted 02/26/2008 12:27 am I boutght a Legal tender 5 dollar note a few year ago at a flea market that looked really nice when I bought it but when I got it home it looked a little different. The next day it had wrinkles in it that want there when I bought it. I think it was ironed. So it might look good for a few hours but I think the wrinkles would come back Report this Post to the Staff

If a note is creased or folded, the acceptable thing to do to flatten it out is to store it in some heavy books for a few weeks, or simply put it in a banknote album and let the banknote pages flatten it out. Don't say "infinitely" when you mean "very"; otherwise, you'll have no word left when you want to talk about something really infinite. - C. S. Lewis Report this Post to the Staff
