Message:: [QUOTE="Detecto92, post: 1793023, member: 75105"]The cabinet has a vent hole. The good coins are stored in air-tites which lower their exposure to air. It would be different if all those coins were store in one small wood chest, but that is a piece of furniture with a huge space of air. I don't get why people fuss over wood, when many people smoke. If smoking can leave a film on things, and turn white walls, yellow, then certainly it isn't good for coins. I'd be more worried about the various chemicals present in cigarette smoke that could damage coins before I would be worried about wood. I've also never seen coins damaged by wood, only toned or darken. As far as I know, wood doesn't not actually cause a bad damage to a coin. While it can darken coins or tone them, it's not like it turns them black or eats them away.           So ya, to the people on here who smoke, besides damaging your body, I wonder what kind of damage the smoke you puff out does to your coins?[/QUOTE]
