<p>[QUOTE="Daggarjon, post: 317877, member: 4230"]There is such variations in the holders we entrust to keep our notes safe. I think its best to try to learn about them as well. I am by far a currency expert, and yet i know even less about the methods to 'safely' store my notes. A little education never hurt anyone <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> right?</p><p><br /></p><p>For example. In a thread a while back, Capital Holders was brought up as a means to keep more expensive notes safe. A good point was brought up about the holders possible flattening any embossing that might be present on the note. I had never even thought of that, so it was a good point IMHO. But a more suitable holder has of yet not been brought up, at least not to my attention. </p><p><br /></p><p>Sites who sell holders might claim their holders are rigid, but i have found that even that claim is subjective. I would love to see the thickness of the holder listed on the site just as the size of the holder usually is. when the usual range of thickness in currency holders seem to range from 3mil for super thin, to 5mil for what i think might be standard, to from what i have seen as a high of 15mil, it is hard to choose the right holder without having to 'guess' at what size you really want. I am sure there might be thicker holders out there, not taking into account holders like the Capital plastics currency holders, i just havent come across any listed as such (yet). And that doesnt even touch upon how to tell the different chemiclly made holders apart from other types.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
