Rubbish. They don't melt in a clothes dryer. They're designed to withstand temps of well over 100 degrees Celsius (Ps why do Americans not air dry their clothes?). I've never heard of anything going wrong with the notes here in Australia. You can also get them wet without any issue, a far more common occurrence. The Maple Syrup thing is a joke.
- alexeisadeski3 13y agoIt's not a joke. It's a controversy. Haven't met a single person yet who doesn't smell maple on a fresh stack of hundreds. Speaking of rubbish, you do know that cloth notes aren't damaged by water, right? The polymer bills are a cost saving measure, and they're inferior (in term of resilience) to their cloth counterparts.

They may not be damaged by water but they do get wet which is a pain.
