How to protect currency from mold
As Korinyak explained, currency should be stored in a dry, dark place with optimal humidity.
You shouldn’t hide your stash under the bathtub or in glass jars in the kitchen, the expert warned.
You also cannot store currency in a cabinet if it is in contact with a freezing wall.
As for what to pack the currency in, a paper envelope is best suited for this.
There will be air exchange there, ” Korinyak explained.
