windychimes Valued Member Canada 250 Posts	Posted 06/29/2013 1:45 pm I found another birthday note, but it's on a plastic $20.00 banknote. And someone folded it. Is there any way to straighten it out? Report this Post to the Staff

noahs-numismatics Pillar of the Community Canada 3167 Posts	Posted 06/29/2013 5:42 pm An iron on plastic? I can't see that ending well... With the new polymer notes, it appears that they are incredible hard to flatten once folded. Report this Post to the Staff
Nevol Formerly nancyc Australia 5385 Posts	Posted 06/29/2013 5:56 pm Place the note between 2 pieces of very flat thick cardboard then place it under a very heavy weight & leave it there for a couple months. I use a stack of filled coin albums. Do not apply heat in any manner as the note will shrivel and be ruined. life is a mystery to be lived not a problem to be solved Edited by Nevol 06/29/2013 5:57 pm Report this Post to the Staff
