FreezerBurn Valued Member United States 135 Posts	Posted 11/07/2008 4:16 pm I am using EDGAR MARCUS & CO. 3 and 4 pocket pages for my small currency collection. Everything fits neatly in a two inch binder. Are there any chemicals in these, like PVC, that might cause long-term problems? Is PVC a concern for currency like it can be for coins? Thank you!

If you visit the Brent-Kreuger coin site, they have a 'Test for PVC' in the how-to section. They use characteristics such as how it tears, and how it behaves when melted.

FreezerBurn Valued Member United States 135 Posts	Posted 11/08/2008 10:21 am The "burn and tear" tests suggested on the site are out of the question as I only bought enough pages to house what I already had. Nothing extraordinary in the collection, just 4 stars , a radar and some low serial numbers in US and an assortment of foreign notes that would have gone into the trash if I hadn't taken them. Thanks for replying! Report this Post to the Staff
