<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dreamer94, post: 709076, member: 6449&quot;]I have heard that the cement in fire safes can release moisture.&nbsp; The safe I have is actually designed to be a gun safe, where humidity is also not desired.&nbsp; The safe is designed to accomodate an electric &quot;dehumidifier&quot; but all it does is heat the inside of the safe.&nbsp; It might be OK for guns, but I didn&#039;t think it was a good idea to store coins in a heated compartment.&nbsp; </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>It would seem that the solution is to have individual air-tight containers, each with its own silica gel device. I don&#039;t know what the ideal container is.&nbsp; Zip lock bags are not air-tight as indicated by the indicator on a silica gel container changing.&nbsp; The plastic storage boxes (e.g. Rubbermaid) sold in department stores aren&#039;t even close to air tight.&nbsp; I suppose Tupperware might be, but it&#039;s very expensive and I don&#039;t think it comes in the right sizes or shapes for coin items.&nbsp; </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>What do you guys do; at least the ones who don&#039;t live in the desert?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
