<p>[QUOTE=&quot;scottishmoney, post: 8040456, member: 12789&quot;]Ironing and pressing are a no-no because it flattens out the original printed embossing on the notes, for example if you have a brand new dollar bill feel the dark printed areas around the perimetre of the note and you will feel the raised ink - that raised area gets flattened when you iron notes even if you use a layer of fabric.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>When you are a picky one like me, you candle the notes with a flashlight around the perimetre of the note to see tell tale signs of pressing, cleaning etc.&nbsp; I&#039;ve even done this with TPG graded notes that are encapsulated.&nbsp; Signs of cleaning can also be found by candling the note with the flashlight in the body of a note - breaks in the paper show, and little traces of dirt that didn&#039;t get cleaned out will show.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
