[QUOTE="Urban_Lawyer, post: 1558428, member: 36361"]Kudos to the other lawyer on here for enhancing and improving the youth of America's logic! I'm freaking out... after getting Mr. Irving's explanation of PVC and paper I looked at some of my bills and, low and behold, I HAVE DESTROYED THEM!! I don't know if its even worth trying to salvage them at this point. Many of my older small size bills are exactly like the "oil that is dry" and "translucent paper, like stamps used to come in" descriptions on the link posted above. I always just thought that the paper was "like" that in the 1920s. Not that I had destroyed it. The picture below (shot on a red cloth to enhance the color) is what is happening to my notes. The top one is a 1928 D with what I believe is major PVC damage. The bottom is an FRN with no damage I received from the bank last week. Compare even just the appearance. When you touch them, the top note is very, very slick and almost plastic-feeling. Sigh....[/QUOTE]
