Do you have any special connection with this story? Or are you just sharing an interesting read about history and numismatics? Do you collect/own any examples of these unprinted notes?</p><p><br /></p><p>It&#039;s quite an interesting story for sure. A rare find, for paper to survive so long in water, though it sounds like it was shielded by layers of heavier materials and the cold waters probably helped keep bacteria and other creatures from destroying it totally. If the pulp is held firmly in place, even when totally submerged the interlocking fibers of the paper should stay put and not come undone, even after all these years in such conditions, and especially since they&#039;d been created under significant pressure then bound into whatever crates and containers kept them safe. Pretty neat!</p><p><br /></p><p>It appears someone who had these sheets in their possession trimmed out notes created collectibles from the paper stock. I read about this through some information available online, probably the same info where you borrowed some of the text of this story. Here is the link so that others who might be interested in the same information and seeing an image of the collector item, plus the source for the unquoted words can also read about it:<a href="http://www.educationalcoin.com/images/deluxe/WWIIPAPERALB.pdf" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.educationalcoin.com/images/deluxe/WWIIPAPERALB.pdf" rel="nofollow"> &#039;WORLD WAR II TREASURE NOTES&#039;</a>&nbsp; [PDF]</p><p><br /></p><p>Thanks for sharing the story. I enjoyed it. :thumb:[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
