Who among my quilting friends with hot irons at the ready iron crinkled money?

I've had a good laugh reading all these comments. Now here's my story. My DH is involved with the on-line money tracking project "Where's George" which tracks where your money travels. It's a great hobby for a retired math teacher. But when he started using my good iron and ironing board to iron out the money to make it easier to mark, I quickly discover that money, even if it's washed in the laundry, still gives off dirt and dyes. So DH got a "gift" of my iron and ironing board and I bought myself another set- with a "forbidden, do not touch" sign on it!

I help my DH out he likes his all a certain way. I put them in serial number order just to bug him:)

No ironing but because of working retail I do keep it straight, just got in the habit.
I have a friend that saved change etc at the end of the day/week. She separated her money into clean and dirty money. She still hasn't lived that down.
