View Cart / Checkout

Proper care of your foreign money collection is of paramount importance in order to enjoy your hobby for many years.

Storing your collectible currency should be done in a cool, dry place. One of the greatest dangers to bills humidity. In subtropical and tropical climates, air conditioning year-round is ideal and it is recommended where possible. A parked car in the sun is not a safe environment for collectible currency.

Bills should be individually stored in acid-free holders or pages, without any plasticizers. Mylar holders are appropriate for this purpose.

The majority of currency albums and album pages available in the United States is safe. Photo pages that are acid free are another alternative, as long as care is taken not to accidentally fold the pages, creasing the bills inside. Photo pages designed for 4x6 and 5x7 prints will fit most sizes of currency.

An important part of conserving your collection is in the proper handling of the individual bills. Please see tips for handling your currency
