It's best to store coins in a dry environment so the metal doesn't have any serious reactions with their surroundings. Also keep in mind to regulate temperature. If you live in a really hot climate, best keep air conditioning running as frequently as possible. There is no set parameter, but any temperature we all feel comfortable in at home is also good for coins.</p><p><br /></p><p>And do not store anything in basements.
