The lowest I have found in any denomination. Any suggestions on how to flatten it out a bit? Just throw it in a book?

If you have one, put it ina currency sleeve, then the book. The entire Harry potter series is a good idea

Then my 10 year old son would swipe it. That's all he reads.

Thanks Silver Stack. I see alot of serials in the thousands, but this is the first I have found in the hundreds. One of these days it would be nice to find one in the tens, but I think I heard those are kept as full sheets or something like that.

That's the sort of serial number that you keep if you can afford to.
But you also would like it to be Crisp Unc and that one appear to be slightly less.

You could also try steaming it. You should experiment with other notes first to see how well that works.

Don't flatten it, don't steam it. Flattening (pressing) will ruin the embossing, steaming/ironing may cause it to lose its crispness.

I'd hazard a guess of putting a towel around it, after straightening the bill out a best you can and the put the entire "sandwich" between weights. The towel should cushion the bill so that the embossing is not flattened by the weights.
Rest in Peace

coinsearcher83 had it right. You can feel a texture difference in a bill that has been flattened and that will hurt its value.

Put it in a currency sleeve.

Nice find!

The OP asked how to flatten it, not whether or not to flatten it. It's his note, he can do whatever he wants with it.

I don't want to hurt the value. I just put it in a sleeve. Thanks all!

Nice SN! with the above - don't squash the texture out of it. Having a flattened note won't help the dinged corners.

You're doing the right thing with the protector. Nice note for the collection!
