Is this a good way to store banknotes??

[jdthedj101]

Hi.I store my banknotes in 6 x 4 polythene bags. I usually fold the excess at the top over, and apply a small piece of tape, to prevent the note from sliding all over in the bag. I have my notes in a tin, and keep the tin in my wardrobe.

 

Is this a good way to store notes, or should i pay more for better quality storage bags. Oh, and by the way, i just collect world notes, nothing special, just random ones.

You should probably use proper bank holders, which are made of polyester material and have no olis that can damage the notes.

 

Something like this http://www.katespapermoney.co.uk/category.asp?ID=357

I keep those in a plastic box with a lid, a really useful box http://www.reallyusefulproducts.co.uk/uk/

 

 

Hoep that helps

 

Thanks

I believe the PE bags have plasticizers that do damage notes and coins. Definitely check out the real holders. Ask a dealer for a few extras if he/she has any.

I use 8 1/2" x 11" polyethylene transparent 3-ring pocket pages. They are archival quality and fit into regular 3-ring binder. You can buy them at any stationary store. Much cheaper than special currency holders. I bought a packege of 100 pages for about $10 several years ago. They are much easier to view than in bags.
