Hi everyone,

I have a chance to buy these at half face value. I know - I absolutely know - that the juice isn't worth the squeeze - but - if I wanted to waste an alarming amount of time on a Saturday, how could I remove the terrible terrible ink job on about 40 of these?

*** I know it's not worth it ***

Thanks!

R.

Soak it in acetone. The note is only worth face, you won't make it worth more or less by soaking it in acetone. Don't leave it too long it might remove some of the ink.

You could just check if your bank would let you deposit them as-is.

If you paid less than face value, you might question if these items are fake. Why would the seller not deposit at a bank?

Sorry....I haven't posted in a while - I am in Rome, Italy. So no chance to check it at a US bank.

Currency exchanges won't take these here; so the seller has un-exchangeable $2 bills.

These are undoubtedly genuine - quite a few for sale on ebay.
