[QUOTE="Stujoe, post: 2926, member: 11"]Here is a thread from rec.collecting.coins that addresses Tupperware and Rubbermaid type plastics (actually the recycle codes found on the bottom): [url]http://tinyurl.com/t9uq[/url] " If you're storing coins in a larger plastic container, check the bottom for these letters inside the recycling symbol, they are all safe: PP, PE, HDPP, HDPE, LDPP, LDPE." I have my bulk stuff in big Sterilite or some such Rubbermaid type containers and they have a safe 'code' on the bottom and have had zero problems. One thing to remember, though, is you still have to control humidity (you can get silica gell) and anything else in the environment that might not be safe (exposure to sulfur or other chemicals, etc). "Rechargeable" Silica Gel that I use for bulk coin storage: [url]http://www.brent-krueger.com/silica.html[/url][/QUOTE]
