$20 3 Digit Star Find

Nice one from the Wash D.C. BEP! Looks like it has a hard fold in the middle (just to the left of TWENTY), maybe two lighter folds. I would place it in the middle pages of "War and Peace" for a spell.

Congrats! That's a nice find.

@OIh82W8 You are correct. It has one strong fold in the center and two light folds on the sides. I don't have a copy of War and Peace but it is in the middle of the largest book I could find. Thanks everyone.

Very neat find and appears to still be in good shape! I have never tried ironing money so I would not know the effects of it but from what I have read not all wrinkles are bad. Some of them form naturally as the ink on the paper dries. I think it is very similar to a freshly printed page heavy with text or pictures that just came out of an inkjet printer and the paper starts to wrinkle as the ink dries. To currency collectors, I think that paper wave is a sign of originality and is not something you want to remove. I could be wrong since I am mostly a coin guy. Someone with more experience in currency would probably be in a better position to comment on it.

From what I've heard, ironing currency is along the same lines as cleaning coins.

I had a friend who was a baseball card dealer in the 80s when the business was really heating up. He picked up a Hank Aaron rookie card with a crease. He put it in a hard plastic card holder then parked the front tire of his truck on it overnight. Voila! Crease is gone!
