<p>[QUOTE=&quot;ChristineD, post: 467073, member: 16301&quot;]Looking through my collection of banknotes (which has been sitting for 16 years), I noticed a note that I had kept in the sleeve I bought it in. The sleeve itself had been put in a (not sure what to call it) large plastic sleeve that you use in a binder. Normally used for sheets of paper. </p><p><br /></p><p>I am not sure of what type of plastic either is made of. The large sleeve for the sheets of paper I think is specifically for documentation, so it might (!) be safe. The sleeve specifically for the banknote I have no idea. It is a somewhat stiff plastic, but not inflexible. Bought in the early 1990&#039;s.</p><p><br /></p><p>These were kept in an album in a cupboard. Little or no sunlight. </p><p><br /></p><p>I noticed that the sleeve for the banknote has turned yellow. This of course can&#039;t be good. I can&#039;t tell if it hurt the note. I have other, identical sleeves that I kept separate, unused. These are fine. Would it then be correct to assume that the plastic of the large binder page/sheet/sleeve harmed the plastic of the sleeve? I have banknotes in these larger binder sheets. These look fine, but I haven&#039;t seen these in so long, who knows. Either way it looks like it would be very wise to invest in good mylar sleeves. </p><p><br /></p><p>Or is it possible that the sleeve the note came in is the right kind of plastic but that the binder plastic/page/sleeve broke it down anyway? </p><p><br /></p><p>I am trying to figure this out. </p><p><br /></p><p>Regards, Christine[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
