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."- 2003-09-28
