Bonistics: how to keep bank notes?
Speaking about the storage of banknotes in the collection, we can note several approaches.
Let's start with the museum option. In this case, the banknotes are attached with corners on a cardboard basis. This allows them to be safely stored and at the same time quickly and efficiently prepared for exposure.
This is how bills are stored in most archives of the world. After placing a bill under it, a registration number is written. Here can be placed the text with the description. Such tablets are further arranged in numbered folders, to which is attached a list of contents.
It should be noted that with all the convenience of this approach, it is gradually becoming a thing of the past and more modern methods and technologies are used as storage facilities for collections.
Today, many collectors store banknotes in plastic envelopes or special sheets for folders. As a rule, transparent sheets alternate with opaque or index cards. Actually, according to this principle, various bon albums are on the market today.
It is worth noting that in this case it is important to choose the right plastic sheets - they should not contain acids harmful to banknotes. Otherwise, after some time, the collection may be destroyed by its storage.
It is important to note one more detail. The collection should be kept at room temperature and normal humidity. Moisture and direct sunlight are the main enemies of the banknote collection. But do not forget that low humidity will also be harmful to the paper and may cause it to dry.
There are many other ways to store a collection of banknotes, but they are less popular and are not always optimal in cost.
