Default Paper softness

I have just received this note:
http://www.auctiva.com/hostedimages/...s=0,0&format=0

I have every other note in this series, including a creased 5,000.
This one however has a noticeable limpness to it. Any ideas what would
cause this?

Limpness is usually due to the note having been wet. It probably has
been washed, usually if it is due to flooding it would be dirty as
well..

That is what I was thinking.

How do people wash notes? Is it just water?

just water and mild liquide soap (Fairy - the stuff you use to wash
dishers)

or corn flower and a steam iron


I have never washed a note or pressed one just can not be bothered
you can always tell when a note has been messed with
