Hello p7willm-ga,

Apparently, you can iron them.  I would suggest trying this out
initially with a one dollar bill, rather than a twenty, in case your
first attempt fails.

The posts in this thread give several tips on how to do this.

Robert Mitchum ironed his in His Kind of Woman (1951): 

"When I have nothing to do at night and I can't think, I always iron my money."
"What do you press when you're broke?"
