Question

Do the folds come out of the bill on the last one?

Community Answer

Yes. In the last one, you iron the bill, so it should have the same effect as the first one.

Question

How do I make a dollar bill flat with no water?

Community Answer

You can just press it without moistening it. It just might take a little longer.

Can I use a hot item to replace the iron?

You could use a hair straightener/flat iron on the lowest setting to replace a clothing iron.

Question

What if you have a bill that's real old and looks to be in very bad shape? Can you put water on it and straighten it?

Community Answer

Dampening and ironing it will improve its appearance, but nothing short of breaking the note down to its constituent fibers and reforming them will really fix the problem.

Question

Will ironing kill the Coronavirus, and should I use a dry or steam iron?

Bunny

Community Answer

Yes, ironing with temperatures over 100 degrees Celsius can kill viruses if applied for a sufficient amount of time, meaning several minutes.
