<p>[QUOTE="grovey, post: 55732, member: 1958"]I remember we did this in grade school. We were told that because the paper in currency had a high cotton content. If you wet a bill in hot water and then iron it and repeat 5 or 6 times the bill will shrink about 20%. I tried it and it did shrink. try it on a old circulated bill sometime.</p><p> <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie8" alt=":D" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
