beachloan Valued Member United States 219 Posts	Posted 05/19/2012 7:17 pm I came across and odd note today, 1981 dollar. One side looks normal (for a well wore note) and the other side looks the color of the old gold certificate notes. I would think it would be hard to bleach just one side but this site has taught me that anything is possible. Report this Post to the Staff

There is some stuff out there where you can achieve a complete "blank side" while the other side remains unaffected in as little as 5 minutes. Report this Post to the Staff
