genuine question, because I forgot a $20 with the laundry at work and I don’t know if the laundry is going to look green or if I’m going to get a white $20 back and clean clothes…
American money is made of mostly cotton and linen, so it will wash like any other fabric.
In Canada, our cash is plastic. You have another chance if you wash it. It’s dead if you put it in the dryer though.
From a single wash? Practically unchanged. At worst it will be slightly faded.
Sounds like you’re engaging in money laundering
Not much different. But then again idk about us dollars
it’ll be fine. might be wadded if it’s old. won’t bleed color on your clothes
Eh. If it’s an old US bill it might come out a bit more ragged and fragile, but it won’t destroy the money or your laundry.
Do it enough and the money would disintegrate, but a single wash won’t be a problem, just plan on being gentle when you extract it just in case.
The laundry will be light pink, the green color of the US bank note is actually an optical illusion deliberately put there as a counterfitting meassure, they use red dye but only the reverse side of the dye to make it appear green, it is similar to red/green color blindness.
Then when you launder the money, the dye gets jumbled and returns to it’s red color, this is mostly noticable on the normal laundry since dollar bills.
