Empty_Pockets Valued Member United States 202 Posts	Posted 07/24/2026 7:51 pm joe_77.... I don't clean my used banknotes. I like the intrigue used notes have. It makes you wonder who's wallet they were in, what they bought, and how long they were in circulation. I appreciate all the advice given in this thread. I think I might go with the sleeves in a box and keep the banknotes that are in an album as is. Joanne Report this Post to the Staff
joe_77 Valued Member Italy 290 Posts	Posted 07/25/2026 02:28 am Thanks all on the cleaning tips! I really don't have time right now to tackle this but sooner or later I need to handle the 200ish notes of my family for "long term storage" and some of them are real dirty!

Empty_Pockets Valued Member United States 202 Posts	Posted Today 3H 8M ago Got my BCW currency sleeves today. They cost $6 and change from Amazon for a quantity of 100 pieces. The thickness of the sleeve is 2 mil which is unacceptable in my book. However I still plan to use them. They are polypropylene which makes them archival safe. In the final analysis, I am unhappy with the product. Report this Post to the Staff
hfjacinto Pillar of the Community United States 7355 Posts	Posted Today 3H 2M ago I just noticed I posted the wrong link, this is what I got: https://www.wizardcoinsupply.com/su...yHPteNtfmvG7 They are 5ML front and 10 ML back. I had originally purchased Guardhouse and didn't like them either. Its been a while.

walk2dwater Pillar of the Community Canada 2594 Posts	Posted Today 1H 13M ago I haven't bought any sleeves online. I only buy at shows or at stores. I have only bought boxes of 50, or 100, for about 50 cents each (in bulk) so $25/50 or $50/100 sleeves (usually). To buy a sleeve for less than 50 cents - $1.00 seems like asking for trouble (to me anyways). You're either going to get flimsy, old PVC but surely ripped off (b/c you have to buy again & it can be tough to get your money back or sometimes its not worth it with the shipping). I have recommended Wizard & certain ebay sellers for the big brands in the past but I got some flack for recommending these so I won't recommend anymore. Here's a thread on Numista re which sleeve brand (there are many): https://en.numista.com/forum/topic172769.html https://sites.google.com/view/notap...ng-banknotes Report this Post to the Staff
