<p>[QUOTE=&quot;gatzdon, post: 272247, member: 8247&quot;]There is a multi step process for &quot;bleaching&quot; out the ink in order to reuse the paper to print a higher denomination bill.</p><p><br /></p><p>While the term bleaching is used, usually it isn&#039;t sodium hypochlorite used, but rather more subtle chemicals like peroxides.&nbsp; The goal is to not damage the paper too much in the process, hence the note is not just soaked, but rather dabbed with the bleaching solution.</p><p><br /></p><p>It is possible for sunlight alone to start bleaching a note, but that takes quite a bit of sunlight to do.</p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;m not an expert on bleaching notes and do not claim to know the intricate details behind bleaching notes, so apologize for any innacuracies.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
