Dream - Towards Eid al-Fitr, the majority of Muslims in Indonesia return to their hometowns to visit their families. Besides visiting, there is one thing that cannot be missed when meeting with siblings or close relatives.

"Sharing THR (holiday bonus) has become synonymous with Eid celebration. Usually, when visiting relatives' houses during the holiday, some of them will give THR with a certain amount. The money given is usually the latest edition. However, the difficulty of exchanging this new money makes some people choose alternative ways to give THR."

Apparently, they will iron the money to make it look crisp like new. They cover the money with a piece of paper before ironing it. This is done so that the heat delivered by the iron does not directly touch the money. This has caught the attention of netizens and has garnered a reaction from Bank Indonesia. The Head of Money Management Department at BI, Marlison Hakim, said that ironing and washing money can accelerate damage to the money.

"Washing and ironing will accelerate the damage to money," said Marlison, as quoted from merdeka.com. Marlison urges the public to take care of money by not engaging in such actions. Although there are no official regulations governing this matter, he advises the public to keep the value of the rupiah from easily deteriorating and to preserve it well."
