Where can I find crisp, clean dollar bills?

Question

I need 28 or more crisp dollar bills for an origami project. The credit union where we bank says they only get crisp 'ones' at Christmastime. I'd like them now.

US Mint seems to sell only coins.

Answer 1

First the mint strikes coins and does not print paper money. The Bureau of Engraving and Printing, prints the paper money. See if there is a Federal Reserve Bank in your area. There are 12 in the U.S., if not your local bank just may have some or can get you some.

Answer 2

Crisp Dollar Bills

You could probably iron it - but if I were you I wouldn't touch it. Just like with coins, cleaning or trying to improve the appearance of a valuable treasury note or other currency devalues the price. I would leave it in it's protective folder. I am a collector of certain currency (have some US confederate bills) and I merely keep them in plastic sleeves. Good luck

Answer 4

Most banks will have crisp and new dollar bills available if you ask for them. Check it out, most of them can easily give you change for a $20.

Answer 5

If you're not overly worried about its resale value and just want it to be more attractive, ironing it would work. But make sure that you put it between two pieces of regular paper before ironing it and iron it on the "wool" setting. If it is overly wrinkled, you may want to consider getting it a little wet from steam--run hot water in your sink until steam is created and hold it over it before pressing it with the iron or placing it under heavy books. I do not recommend placing it in direct steam like that generated by a tea kettle, but if your sink water doesn't get got enough, you might try holding it over a pan of boiling water--watch that you don't get burned yourself, though! Consider practicing your technique on more recently issued bills that are in similar condition before risking your silver certificate. If you want to be sure to retain the bill's full collector's value, don't do anything to it at all--just keep it as-is in a safe place.

Check the US Bureau of Engraving and Printing. You can purchase uncut sheets of US currency in their online store. Here's the link:
