    Well, its back baby!

    I don't know exactely how, but remember this thread about the jelly-stained star note? - well I found it again.

    Perhaps luck or some divine destiny-driven intervention, I now own that star note.
    and remember, I found that note Thursday, and now its Sunday.

    here it is:

    See, here's what you have to know.
    Typically notes on top will be the first to go, and this note, oddly enough, I put on top of the stack when I finished looking at it - and then the manager came and took the tray. Notes on the bottom and middle usually stay there for a few days.
    I think what happened was, the star note made its way to the bottom when it was counted, and managed to survive 3 days without getting to the top - and thus being given in change.

    so what do you think?
    Think I can clean it off somehow? its a great note.

    Think some minor folds and the jelly take away from the value? :D

    no problem :)

    I think the trick was, that it went to the bottom of the stack, and never actually left the store.

    but regardless, Im only 20 - so I cant play the lottery. lol

    Try acetone. It gets rid of tape residue, so it might work on grape jelly. :)

    Don't ever lick a dollar bill... that's just gross! YUCK! lol

    just a simple soap and warm water bath will suffice, although I never recommend bathing any note(I'm a PURIST, keep em' the way i find em') i can see the problem getting it in a holder without further spreading of the jam/jelly/stripper lube:eek: (THAT'S WHY you NEVER lick a dollar......):goofer:
    and since it is not uncirculated........ i guess it's ok:whistle:
    NEVER use caustic chemicals on paper!!:desk:
    hope this helps!

    bubble bath eh?
    that doenst sound too bad right about now. Think a rubber ducky will help?

    but seriously, should I use paper towel or something to wipe it off?
