Keeping savings at home can lead to unexpected troubles, experts warn.
We tell you how to properly store cash at home.
How to Keep Money 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.
