Sorry I had to share this one....

If you need to keep your notes Lasting Longer?  Want to keep that New Money Smell?

That's right folks!! VACUUM SEAL your Note! Lol..

Check out item 270342889138 you know where if you would like a Giggle. 

No it's not my note.. its some silly American.  But once you see the photos of the note... too funny.

I was like "Is that thing.....??"

But I wonder if it works?? LOL

Someone should try this on a note that is only worth face value. Just to see if this does work.

Although, It does look to bend the note. I would not try this on a expensive note.

Hmm..

Maybe was a Trial Specimen "Canadian" Polymer note...  LOL.

I just thought it was too funny.  Man Getting it out would be fun.  Try and remove it without cutting into it.

Next you will see people Doing this to the 1967 $1 No Serials and Calling them "SPECIAL" test Plastic Editions...

I was curious enough to email the seller and ask... Apparently it was a "FoodSaver" bag.

I always thought that washing and pressing your notes were enough to keep them fresh....now we have to seal them too?

FoodSaver: Apparently we can keep our notes fresh as well as our groceries. Add yourself a fancy looking card and voila!!! "Do-it-yourself" graded notes.  ;)

As stated on the site itself...."With FoodSaverâ„¢, you will extend the freshness of food, eliminate freezer burn, marinate meat and fish in minutes, protect collectibles and other non-food items from aging and corrosion - and more!" So does anyone else hide their notes in the freezer compartment?  ;D
