I put 600 euros (around $500) in a large bowl on the counter because I didn't like to carry it in my purse, and I needed it to pay the workmen who will be here tomorrow and want cash. As I was doing some ironing this afternoon I was folding clothes and as I moved the bowl, I realised that it was all wet. Someone (I really don't know who) has peed in the bowl on top of all the notes. I rinsed each one carefully, laid them on a towel and patted them dry. All I can say is, thank goodness they were not shredded as well. My carpenter, who is here today, laughed like mad and said he would accept a cheque!
