First place the notes in a safe. Place the safe in the middle of the floor. Now adopt 10 cats and place their food bowls around the safe. It would also be wise to invest in some cat nip to dump all over the safe.

Perhaps store them in a safe deposit box in the closest bank.

Safe deposit boxes no longer exist in many areas (my wife tried to get one for her jewellery without luck) . They are also tiny (shoebox sized) so you cannot store much in them and they are of limited use if you want frequent access to certain pieces. When you do want to take certain pieces home then you have issues such as carrying them and then storing them at home for the time needed to do your photography or display or whatever reason you needed them for.
Then it might be weeks to get back to the bank from your farm and you still need to secure them from the vermin.
Ammo boxes are good (I have some) but most are not big enough to store albums of mylar sheets upright.
Another thing, rats/mice can chew on softer metals such as copper and silver (including coins) so if you have a vermin problem then protect the coins as you would the notes.

 This is the type of ammo crate I have used... the mylar banknote holders (not the sheets) fit very easily and well in there.. Stored in the garage.. very inconspicious and doesn't attract much attention. I like 'em |

Replace the guns with a good ratter dog (like a Jack Russell). It will eat the rats, mess with the cats and then you can use the gun safe for your collection.
Or just get another gun safe for your coins and keep the existing gun safe for dealing with the vermin (both the cats, rats and also the 2 legged rats).

I don't have any really top of the line bank notes but the ones I do have I keep in the return envelopes you get in credit card offers, the kind with large windows so you can see a good portion of the bills. Maybe not good for high end bills in rat prone areas, but they are free  |

Ok so the minimum safe storage here is notes placed in albums, locked in a steel safe, surrounded by 10 cats, with a couple of Jack Russels thrown into the room as well just to be sure....
Seriously guys, what we need here is a seal-able case. Mice and rats can crawl though opening that small you would not believe. (Some rifle safes I've seen would fail on this point.)
One option I would like to put on the table are products from skbcases.com. (sorry mod if external company suggestions are bad)
These guys make high density polyurethane travel cases for various uses. Cameras, firearms, bows, etc. The firearm cases actually meet Australian standards for transport on airlines.
The main thing is that they are air/water tight and reasonably priced.
Worth a look maybe.

A big tool chest is nice....but
- is it dust proof
- is it termite proof
- is it cockroach proof
- is it water proof
I say this as I once had some stuff (including low value coins and notes kept from an overseas trip)stored in a steel file cabinet in a lock up shipping container and I still ended up with all 4 of the above inside the file cabinet.

The tool box is a great idea for storage... I have looked at a few of those at some auctions and thought if I could get a tool box on the cheap I would use it for coin organization and storage..(Lord Knows I need it)
After reading all the helpful suggestions on here... I wish to revise my suggestion...
Steps:
1) Place notes into hard plastic protectors
2) place those into the ammo crate
3) Place crate(s) into a safe
4) Line the safe with 2 inches of drywall to make it fireproof
5) Lace the drywall with cat nip
6) Place bowls of cat food all around the safe
7) Throw in a few jack russel terriers for good measure
8) Dig a moat around the safe and have frigg'n sharks with lasers on their heads!
After all that... I think you're good to go!
