Keeping savings at home can lead to unexpected troubles, experts warn.
We tell you how to properly store cash at home.
Never wrap money in cellophane or store it in a closet, on a balcony, in a garage, shed or cellar – the bills may become damp and covered in mold or mildew.
Books are also not the best place to store cash - banknotes may be stained with printing ink, and they may also stick to the pages.
The main advice is to ensure a stable temperature (18-25 degrees) and low humidity (up to 55-60%) in the room.
It is best to store cash in special vacuum packaging, so the money will be protected from moisture, ultraviolet rays, temperature changes and other environmental factors.
