Member: Seasoned Veteran DWLange Posted July 10, 2022 Member: Seasoned Veteran Share Posted July 10, 2022 Few people realize that U. S. paper currency was likewise cleaned and pressed before being reissued, but this practice came much later. I know it was performed during the 1910s, but I believe it became impractical when the volume of paper currency swelled in the 1920s. So far as I know it hasn't been done since.
