My house is no different than most - the person doing the laundry keeps whatever money is found in the money. I wonder though about another facet of laundered money, my friends think I'm odd, but I think my quilting friends might agree.

When I find bills in the laundry, I iron them. The ironing board is always set up, takes a second to turn the iron on, and I really dislike folded or crinkled bills in my bill fold (I'm also anal about keeping the denominations in order and all the presidents heads must be facing up).

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

Nope, wadded or folded and stuffed in my purse, in different areas, and I know how much is where. All spends the same, and I work in a bank. My fellow coworkers cringe and make faces when I go to lunch with them and pull out my crinkled, rumpled bills.

Oh I don't mind crinkled money. Don't bother ironing them, just put them in an envelop and when it's filled, let me know and I'l PM you my adress. Problem solved???
ROFL, I love to help people :-))
