Yes it is. It will get soggy, but once it dries it will be perfectly fine. It's mostly cotton, isn't it?

But they rip when wet. They also rip when dry!
British, Canadian, Australian bank notes can't be ripped when wet or dry - they're polymer.

Wouldn't it be better not to have to do that thanks to them being waterproof?
