<p>[QUOTE=&quot;desertgem, post: 807486, member: 15199&quot;]Ok, I don&#039;t know much about paper money, but as Rickie says, there is a lot of difference between wood pulp paper and rag paper ( cotton/linen), such as amount of cellulose, processing means, etc.. Most paper shufflers are concerned with the preservation of document paper and only certain ones with rag paper. When considering preservation of rag paper money, consider how you might preserve the&nbsp; Shroud of Turin, an ancient linen cloth object.</p><p><br /></p><p><a href="http://www.shroud.com/consrvtn.htm#preserv" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.shroud.com/consrvtn.htm#preserv" rel="nofollow">http://www.shroud.com/consrvtn.htm#preserv</a></p><p><br /></p><p>which says :</p><p><br /></p><p>&quot;the Shroud shall be kept in a reliquary with bullet-proof glass, waterproof, in <b>absence of air and water</b> and in presence of an inert gas. The reliquary shall be protected from light and maintained in constant climatic conditions&quot;</p><p><br /></p><p>You might not need the bulletproof glass, but notice it says absence of air and in an inert gas.&nbsp; I think the key point is &quot;absence of air&quot;.&nbsp; I don&#039;t know the value of the Shroud, but I know it is higher than any paper money I will have <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>Jim[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
