  PAPER MONEY "SHELF LIFE"
  

  Regarding last week's question about the longevity of paper
  money, Howard A. Daniel III writes: "During a trip to Viet
  Nam in October 2002, I was offered a large leather wallet
  with some Vietnamese communist notes in it. The owner had
  hidden it in the wall of his house in July 1954 and his family
  had just found it. The notes were printed on very crude
  unwatermarked paper with large amount of acid in them.
  Except for where they were folded, the notes were in good
  condition.
  

  I thought this might help David Fanning in answering Lisa
  Mao's question about the "shelf life" of paper money. And
  please tell her that as a numismatist, I am not only interested
  in coins, but paper money, chits, checks, coupons, tokens,
  stocks, bonds, etc., etc. And I know many other numismatists
  interested in more than just coins."
