<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Notaphylic_C, post: 8532260, member: 130786&quot;]-Your best bet is to put them in proper currency sleeves &amp; keep them in a dry place.&nbsp; Moisture will cause toning (or browning) &amp; most collectors can notice if the note has been lightly pressed (placed in a book).&nbsp; The paper used in most books has been bleached &amp; traces can leach into the note (&amp; lighten its appearance).&nbsp; Take a closer look at your 10 &amp; 20 yuan notes &amp; you will see they still have crispness &amp; some embossing (use a magnifying glass &amp; you will see the texture left by the printing process) where the notes haven&#039;t been folded. Compare them to the more circulated notes.</p><p><br /></p><p>It is really unfortunate that some collectors think they can improve the appearance of a note by flattening (or doctoring) them somehow.&nbsp; All efforts to improve a note&#039;s appearance are noticeable once you&#039;ve developed an eye for it- the various means of processing a note (if one has been collecting long enough the evidence jumps out at you). </p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><br /></p><p>-Very understandable as a lot of African notes have beautiful designs.
