<p>[QUOTE=&quot;GDJMSP, post: 3296633, member: 112&quot;]Several things here. What you&#039;ve already been told about your garage being a very poor choice for location is quite correct. The best location is one where the temperature remains fairly constant. That&#039;s usually found in an interior closet that has no walls that abut the exterior of the home. In other words, all 4 walls of the closet need to have another room of the home on the other side of that wall.</p><p><br /></p><p>Fire safes in general, yes, some do have humidity problems - but not all of them do. Whether they do or not is determined by the fireproofing material inside the walls of the safe used by the manufacturer. Usually, but I won&#039;t claim it&#039;s always true with all models, some manufacturers make safes that are good for coin storage and others do not. One that does, based on my own personal experience is American Security.</p><p><br /></p><p>Next would be something else that has also already been mentioned - the interior of the safe - it should be nothing but metal. </p><p><br /></p><p>Next would be that you should not store anything, and I mean anything at all, within the safe that is not made of inert materials. This of course includes almost all paper and cardboard products. Only archival quality paper could be stored in the safe. </p><p><br /></p><p>And yes by all means you need to use dehumidifying products inside the safe, and there has to be enough of them to handle a space the size of the safe. And they have to be checked and replaced or recharged as needed. Do that and even if you live in a very humid area you will be fine.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
