<p>[QUOTE=&quot;calcol, post: 2574306, member: 77639&quot;]I use ammo cans, both U.S. military surplus and newly synthesized, for storing equipment logs and tools at various outdoor places on my ranch.&nbsp; Work great for that.&nbsp; Ammo is stored indoors in a different style metal box. For coins, they should be great for physical protection and keeping moisture out as long as they aren&#039;t submerged.&nbsp; I wouldn&#039;t trust them not to emit hydrogen sulfide or other toning vapors.&nbsp; If they are surplus, no knowing what has been in them before they got to you.&nbsp; If newly made, it&#039;s hard to know what materials were used for the alloy, for coating, and for the gasket.&nbsp; Give them a good scrub, but to be safe, assume there is some reactive residue. Any coins should be in sealed inert plastic containers that are placed in the ammo boxes.&nbsp; Polyethylene bags or polyethylene/polypropylene boxes should work well and help keep things organized too.</p><p><br /></p><p>Cal[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
