<p>[QUOTE=&quot;desertgem, post: 877935, member: 15199&quot;]Coins in storage do best with as low a humidity as possible. Paper,linen,cotton based documents and bills should be at 40-60%, depending on the makeup of the &quot;paper&quot;. Most &quot;paper money seems to be quoted at 40-50%, historical documents at 40-60%. Coins are made fromm metal, moisture cause deleterious chemical reactions to metal. Too little moisture will make paper dry, brittle, and discolored. Too much will induce any fungal or bacterial spores to become active. IMO.</p><p><br /></p><p>If you have the quantity and quality of paper money, store paper without desiccants and store the coins in a separate storage with a desiccant. Ask the bank manager if the humidity is controlled and at what level.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
