<p>[QUOTE="coins2006, post: 353072, member: 8374"]Back in early 1980's I had the painting contract at 1 Chase Manhattan Plaza in N.Y. Our paint shop was on the 61st. floor next to the incinerator room. One day when we went to the shop there was a few people in the burning room. One of them asked us if we would like to see 3 million dollars stacked up on a table. It was quite a sight. All the bills were cancelled and then they would place them in the furance, after that they would place a lead seal on the door and inspect the ashes the next day. If any thing was not totaly burned the would start the fire again. The reason they gave us for burning as the dust from shredding in the early 80's was affecting the people that was doing the shedding. Now that 20 years have passed I am not sure how they destroy old money now. I am sure if they now shred they should have good maskes to protect the workers from the dust.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
