<p>[QUOTE=&quot;krispy, post: 1250484, member: 19065&quot;]U.S. notes are printed on cotton rag fiber paper. Ever been in a smokey place and go home only to notice your clothes smell like cigarette smoke... It penetrates, or at least temporarily attaches itself to cotton fiber pretty readily, at least until the clothing is washed, which makes the dryer sheet idea an interesting notion <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie2" alt=";)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />... </p><p><br /></p><p>However, I&#039;d be wary to use one chemically embedded material to absorb or mask another odor, and certainly don&#039;t let the dryer sheets come into contact with your notes as that residue could also be absorbed by the notes.</p><p><br /></p><p>The best thing to do is pretty much nothing. Odor is not taken into consideration for grading purposes so shouldn&#039;t really effect grade/value. Leave the stinky notes out in a place with stable humidity, well ventilated and make sure it&#039;s a safe place where they can&#039;t be harmed nor exposed to intense light nor have any apples or coffee grounds come into contact with the notes and the smell will probably dissipate over time naturally. If that&#039;s not an agreeable solution for the problem in question, then put the notes in individual mylar sleeves which will mostly cut them off from your nasal passages detecting the notes odor, as well as preventing any new odors from attaching to the notes. If you can still smell them, have them slabbed so they are sonically sealed or go find other notes to replace the offensive notes in your collection.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
