<p>[QUOTE=&quot;JBK, post: 57194, member: 1101&quot;]Well, I am personally a bit overly concerned about packaging, so I would think of a few things first.&nbsp; What residue is left in these?&nbsp; Nitrites?&nbsp; Sulphur? etc.etc.&nbsp;&nbsp; Second, is the paint or rubber gasket/glue giving off any fumes that could affect coins?&nbsp; I would not hesitate to store non-collector coins there, but I would think carefully about collector coins.&nbsp; For example, I have a wooden stereo cabinet and I stored a lot of new euro coins in the lower drawer – a lot seem to have toned.&nbsp; It is nice toning, but toning just the same.&nbsp; I think it is from chemical fumes in the wood or laminate.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>Anyway, they are certainly waterproof and good for storing things to keep them safe but maybe not archivally so.&nbsp; Also, if it is airtight, then you are sealing in whatever humidity is in there when you close it.&nbsp; For that reason, silica gel would be good.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
