With 3 of them in the main box, it should be good for 6 months, though like you observed the indicator is usually pink by the time they get swapped-out. </p><p><br /></p><p>I also line the interior of the deposit box with electronic anti-static bags that have been cut-open with the interior of the bag towards the coins. These are the type of bags that electronic circuit cards are shipped in for mainframe (etc) computers. The inside of the bag is made with the same material as "Intercept Shield" coin holders, -that is, an emulsion originally patented by Western Electric that bonds with sulfur and other corrosives in the air. While moisture inside the box is never a good thing, generally it is the other contaminants in the air combined with the moisture that causes the most damage.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
