Sparky Posted August 7, 2005 Report Share Posted August 7, 2005 Hi all, I am new to note collecting and am wondering which note holders are the best to use and keep the notes in tip-top condition. I am based in the UK so any distributors there would be ideal. Many thanks in advance Mark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MisterMcDoo Posted August 7, 2005 Report Share Posted August 7, 2005 I always use 100% polyester holders, which has no acid or oil that can over time damage the note. You can tell a good banknote holder if it has a strange rainbow-colorful effect when the two sides come in contact. Most polyester holders are open-sided with a top fold. I use them for all of the notes in my collection. http://www.katespapermoney.co.uk seems to have decent prices in pounds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

San_Miguel98 Posted August 7, 2005 Report Share Posted August 7, 2005 if you have plenty of notes, you might also consider 3-pocket pages for use in standard binders. these ultra-pro pages are also acid-free, and are made of polypropelene. http://www.dotpattern.com/supplies/currenc...orage-page.html just steer clear of anything made of vinyl. polyvinyl chloride (pvc) will discolor your notes after just a couple of years in storage.

I recently found some pretty rare US MPCs that suffered that fate... they were kept in some kind of plastic wrap that damaged them quite badly.
