Re: Money to burn?

Another "Money to burn" posibility is to soak a dollar bill in a 50-50
mixture of methanol and water, then light it on fire. the methanol will burn,
but the dollar will not be damaged because the heat from the methanol is not
sufficient to evaporate the water.
add some sodium chloride to the mixture to make flame more
visible. Always an impressive "trick". Unfortunately not possible
anymore with the local currency as the notes are polymer, not
paper.
