Is Anybody Interested In This $5 Bill?

It may be worth to hold on to. Would you be able give us the serial number or post a scan of both sides ?

Serial number is J37035606B, and this bill is apparently out of Kansas City, Missouri. I don't have a scanner, but I'd be happy to post a picture of it after a couple of hours in a book and dampened with distilled water (I want to see if I can take out that tiny crease on the left-hand side--it's so slight it doesn't even look like a fold, more like a bend).


. . . . actually, I should ask before I do that, I keep distilled around for household cleaning (if you like shiny mirrors . . . never mind, I digress) because of the lack of chemicals in it, but will it damage a bill's value? I was told a safe way to clean super-grungy silver certificates without damaging them was a drop of Dawn in a bowl of warm distilled water and then pressing in a book, but I don't know if that applies to newer bills (sans Dawn, of course). I'll wait to hear back before doing that, then!

As for holding onto it--if I held onto every interesting piece of money that came my way I'd soon be living in a shoebox with my collection taking up my room, instead of the other way around! I'd be happy to trade it even-Steven for a nice $5 from one of the years I'm looking for to hold onto for my niece and niecephew (to be announced: July 2012), which would be 1959, 1978, 2008, and of course now 2012 as well.

Okay, can do (hence why I asked!) :-D I'll take a couple of pics and then go put my Stephen King collection to good use. I'll edit this post momentarily with pictures after they're taken/uploaded/sized/etc.

EDIT: Here they are! Before anybody's heart stops, I promise I double-washed my hands and did not use lotion. I'm just shooting after dark in a room with what our apartment managers like to call "natural ambient lighting" (translation: lots of little lamps instead of a light from the fan, like sane people would have) and wanted to make sure the problems I noted before were highlighted.
