[QUOTE="Taxidermist, post: 1178224, member: 24849"]OK, here are the results (taken under same light and environment conditions): [ATTACH]122977.vB[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]122978.vB[/ATTACH] The mold was removed completely, a bit of dirt that got deep into the paper remained in one spot on the edge. I was very pleased to notice that the yellow stains (very typical for aging paper money) were removed completely. My solution is slightly different from what was used by floirdatinman on $10. It took me less than 5 minutes. Leaving the note for 30 minutes would definitely cause altered color and unnatural bleached white color edges areas. I am not sure about sharing my recipe and method, as it might be considered a way to "doctor" banknotes to make them more presentable and attractive for sales. If there are any questions, i can always answer in PM. The banknote looks [I][U]WAY[/U][/I] better now and i am extremely happy about removed yellow stains you can see almost on any old banknote.
