    Yeah Benny,i remember ironing them out flat to dry them..>>>>>>><<<<<<<..

    Oh sure it'll be good. If I had a dollar for every time I washed a bill, I'd be rich!  As long as you have both serial numbers, you got the face value. Oh,  I understand they also contain cotton fabric. 


    Oh,I looked it up. .paper money is made from cotton and linen.

    Aussie money used to be like yours JH,we started the polymer notes around 1970 or so,,and yes,before polymer notes ours were called "rag notes". and yes we invented the polymer notes.today the polymer note is in 22 countries worldwide..>>>>>>>><<<<<<<<..

    good information, jh. -- - and Terry

    Do not know about Yankee money,but if you got Aussie money it is fine,because Aussie money is made of a polymer,the only thing that would hurt it is fire..>>>>>>><<<<<<<..Image result for aussie money photos

    thx for the tip, Terry . I don't know what USD is made out of, but when I was kid, about 100 years ago, they said it was made out of rags. Aussie currency is beautiful. First time I've ever seen it. Isn't polymer a type of plastic ?

    Yes MCM,it is a type of plastic.each bill has a special security doo dads running through it to stop counterfieting..it is also considerd the most secure currancy in the world..have a read of the link MCM..>>>>>>>><<<<<<<..http://www.gizmodo.com.au/2014/11/proceeds-of-crime-how-polymer-banknotes-were-invented/
