<p>[QUOTE=&quot;funkee, post: 2045803, member: 37925&quot;]I know this note is never going to see the likes of PMG or PCGS. But placing notes in a book to flatten them out is just a bad practice to promote on the internet. </p><p><br /></p><p>When a crease is made on a note, the fibers along the crease are broken. Flattening the note crushes the weakened fibers, causing the broken ends to fold over one another, and also causing them to interlock due to the unevenness at the fiber ends. However, the weight breaks the weakened fibers on the crease even further. The unevenness of the fiber ends causes them to interlock, a few micrometers on either side of the crease. But with the fibers in the area of the crease now damaged further, the area is not able to support the weight of the note. The damaged crease and the interlocked fibers on either side causes the note to go limp.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
