  PAPER MONEY LONGEVITY QUESTION
  

  David Fanning forwarded this question from Lisa Mao,
  Segment Producer, Indigo Films: "I had contacted you in
  the spring regarding Ft. Knox when we were producing a
  show on the gold depository.
  

  Currently I am doing research on paper money and am looking
  for an expert who can talk about its "shelf life". Do numismatists
  deal only with coins or do they also take an interest in paper
  money? I am interested in contacting someone who can tell me
  how long paper currency can last, and under what conditions?
  For example, if money is buried in the ground for 50 years, will
  it still be intact or will it have disintegrated?
  

  Thank you so much for your time and I look forward to your
  response."
  

  [Does anyone have some answers? We'll forward them to
  Ms. Mao. Meanwhile, anyone wishing to experiment is
  invited to deposit any sum of paper money in a hole I'll dig
  in my back yard, free of charge. -Editor]
