<p>[QUOTE=&quot;gatzdon, post: 307695, member: 8247&quot;]We don&#039;t know for sure what the cause of your card/note is, but during the anthrax scare, certain postal distribution centers were irradiating all mail giving it a slightly burnt characteristic.&nbsp; This process supposedly produced a sterile result, but also destroyed many things like photographs, some computer media, negatives, etc... and left alot of paper crisp or slightly-brown looking.</p><p><br /></p><p>My understanding (and again don&#039;t take this as a fact) is that they have learned that they can back off on the intensity and still sterilize the mail.&nbsp; Not all mail receives this treatment, only mail that has been targetted due to a probable cause.</p><p><br /></p><p>I have to wonder if there were any precious banknotes damaged during that scare.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
