<p>[QUOTE=&quot;alurid, post: 8096762, member: 81991&quot;]I am sure most folk have seen a paper money stacks or mint set coins entombed in Acrylic blocks. I have released a Canadian mint set from its confines for a friend who wanted the silver. Then he gave me a block like this with a stack of two dollar bills inside it. A UV flashlight is helpful to determine that the paper in between the two note is just paper an not real notes.</p><p>What a fun experiment, I cut the slab in half lengthwise and then cut off the the edges to the same size as the bill. I let it soak in Acetone for 24 hours, removed (peeled) the note from the surface of the acrylic block and then into another 24 hour soak in clean acetone, as it had small bits of plastic on. Removed from soak and let air dry in well ventilated area.</p><p>I think the low serial number is a bonus for being successful in this experiment.</p><p>I am truly surprised I was able to release this note.&nbsp;&nbsp; I had never put paper money in acetone before, and now I know that happens, didn&#039;t hurt it one bit that I can tell.</p><p><br /></p><p>Cut in half lengthwise.</p><p>[ATTACH=full]1407425[/ATTACH][ATTACH=full]1407426[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1407428[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>A little damage on the top right obverse where the saw chipped the acrylic.</p><p>[ATTACH=full]1407429[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1407430[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>I still got the reverse side to do.<img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie50" alt=":happy:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
