<p>[QUOTE=&quot;TheMont, post: 2643023, member: 80121&quot;]One thing people are not mentioning is our currency is not paper, it is a combination of cotton and linen. There are germaphobes out there who wash their everyday currency to clean them, not improve them as collectors.</p><p><br /></p><p>I just read an article that said the countries using polymer currency are doing it to make their bills last longer, but they are also making them, unknowingly, more germ resistant. Our cotton/linen currency, when analyzed has things on them that are really bad, from drugs to e-coli. Another plus for Debit/Charge Cards.</p><p><br /></p><p>I have a really nice $500 bill that has a partial bank tellers stamp on it. Anybody have a suggestion for removing it? I would practice on no value notes. On the other hand, maybe I should just leave the $500 alone.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
