mold on paper money
I put my paper collection in new sentry fire proof safes. Now after 2
years I have mold growing on the money and paper cases I keep coins in. How do I get rid of it and prevent it. |

mold on paper money
Paper needs to be stored in a place with minimal humidity and at a
comfortable temperature. Place your safe in living area of the house where there is a constant warm tempreature. Make sure it is placed against an inside wall. Keep your notes in archival quality mylar holders and make sure to "air" them regularly. This will prevent mould and "rust". Ideal humidity should be kept at around 50%. Very low levels of moisture in the air cause shrinkage and embrittlement in paper. High humidity accelerates the rate of degradation and can cause mold to bloom. As for getting "rid" of the mould on your existing items - I do not have an answer for that. Just make sure that the spores don't get onto the rest of your collection. monty wrote: I put my paper collection in new sentry fire proof safes.
