About Uncirculated Banknotes banknotes
Uncirculated (UNC) means a note has never been used: no folds, no creases, no handling marks, with sharp corners and original crispness. AUNC (almost uncirculated) notes may have a light counting crease or corner flick. To keep notes in this state, store them flat in archival, PVC-free sleeves away from light and moisture.
