Heat Resistant Money
I've read of others hidding money on their bikes. The problem here is that Australian money is thin plastic - it shrinks if ironed! So hiding that where it may get hot is not a good idea.
So what money (UK, USA, Euro etc) is heat resistant? And is it water resistant too?

Laudering money
I've washed Sterling many times without effect.
Now setting fire to it, is another matter.

Ah, Aussie money! The only 'paper' money you can take surfing! Now THAT'S a national lifestyle statement!
British money is quite tough, I've had tenners go through a colourfast cottons wash several times and still exchanged them for  and sandwiches.Just wrap them in polythene (or a Johnny), add a bit of duct tape and away you go. Matt

Oz money survives the washing machine .. it does not like being ironed afterwards though. Considering how hot it can get in the sun here I'd have though a highter temperature plastic would be required ..
So we have 10 GBP to be both heat and water resistant. I'd use gold but most people have trouble giving the right change...

Euros are useless
They don't survive washing at all, the number of tiles I found a small wadded up vaguely blue bit of paper in my pocket and realised it was a five Euro note. Luckily I've never had one of the big notes (up to 500 euros) on me to wash, that would be a disaster.
They don't respond well to being stuffed in a sweaty back pocket either, that tends to make them fall apart pretty quickly. I suppose it's why so many of them are covered in sticky tape (or durex for our Ozzie readers). Still the coins seem to survive OK.

No.2 I think you are using the wrong wash-cycle - may I suggest "wool"?

We're going so far in debt that the world is losing confidence in our ability to pay our bills! So the dollar loses value against other currencies. (Apologies for hihjacking the tread to politics)

There goes anyother hidding place.
DAVSATO (and others) please don't put up where stuff hides on the bike .. you're only telling the thieves. For people who don't know where the hiding places are .. ask. But best is to sit and look at the bike - remove things and sit and look again. TRhey are there - they just take finding. Teh best ones are the ones you find yourself.
