[QUOTE="physics-fan3.14, post: 3186618, member: 19165"]What sort of stuff do you have? If you are storing spare change and wheat cents, a ziploc bag in a tupperware container will be just fine. If you are storing something valuable, a safe would be better, or a bank deposit box - but those are expensive. Whatever storage method you choose, you want to make sure that the gasses from the material will not harm your coins. So, for example, anything wooden or made from natural materials like velvet will tend to release gasses which will change your coins. Anything made from food-grade plastic will be safe for coins (ziploc, tupperware, etc), or anything metal (if it is painted, be aware that the paint may release gasses). You can also buy archival quality storage methods from coin supply stores, made especially for storing coins. The method you choose, and the expense you spend, should be scaled to the value of whatever you are storing.[/QUOTE]
