ok this may sound like a weird question, but you know when you get money from the bank and it's all smooth and not wrinkly? well how do they do that? do they iron it? because even bills from a couple years ago that aren't brand new aren't wrinkly. you can see where they have been folded and theres like a permanent crease but they almost feel like a new bill.
does anyone know what I'm talking about and do you know how they do it (ironing maybe??). my mom and I were having an argument about it and I'm curious to see if anyone else knows what I'm talking about...

Nope...they don't iron the money to make it flat. They are just new bills.
I used to work at a bank and I've seen my fair share of wrinkled up bills as well. It all depends on what comes in when the money (armored) truck brings in a delivery.

They get new bills from the Federal Reserve or a large bank in the area. Old dilapidated bills are exchanged for new ones. The old ones are returned to the Department of the Treasury to be destroyed.
See source for more specific information.

Trust me all money is not flat and smooth most is very crumpled and wrinkled.
