How to Store Old Paper Money

• 1). Wash your hands. Dry them thoroughly.
  
  
• 2). Open the Mylar holder.
  
  
• 3). Carefully slide the bill into the holder, taking care not to bend or tear it. Touch as little of the bill as possible. The oils on your fingers can leave a residue that will deteriorate the paper over time.
  
  
• 4). Place the Mylar envelope in the Lindner album.
  
  
• 5). Store your money in a cool, dry place, out of direct sunlight, which can fade it. Humidity also can deteriorate the paper and ink.
