<p>[QUOTE=&quot;clayirving, post: 666608, member: 18867&quot;]The box and who I give access the the box provides a great deal from protection from handling. :smile</p><p><br /></p><p>The BCW Currency Slab is made from polystyrene, which according to t<a href="http://www.cointalk.com/t51602/" class="internalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.cointalk.com/t51602/">his excellent article</a> from Daggarjon&nbsp; is a safe material for archival storage of notes:</p><blockquote><p>The important thing when selecting holders is to buy ones made from the right materials - ask the supplier exactly what it is made of - if he doesn&#039;t know, shop elsewhere. Safe materials include polyester, polyethylene (food grade), polystyrene, polypropylene &amp; Plexiglas. PVC, whether it is plasticized or not is not acceptable nor is acetate. </p><p><br /></p></blockquote><p>The currency slab is four times the cost of the PET sleeves ($1.57 each for quantity 100), and significantly bulkier. For me, size becomes a significant factor when one has a large number of notes - One box of PET sleeves is about 200 notes, and 200 notes in polystyrene slabs is going to require a <i>whole</i> lot more space for storage.</p><p><br /></p><p>But, sure, if you have a dozen or a few dozen notes, you may find the currency slabs work just fine.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
