Lots of banknote collectors have complained that the PVC pockets holding the banknotes in the folder, not the same as previous ones, are shrinking and making the notes wrinkled. Fortunately, in the beginning I always put my notes separately in Transparent Polystyrol Stock-Cards which better protect them. That is exactly how they were posted and would be better to keep it that way.
