I have a see threw plastic envelope full of old currency in my saftey deposit box, I was to scared to bring it home and try to photo them because they look so fragile and taking pictures in the bank is a no-no I wrote a few of them down, but not all as I didn't want to touch it very much and they are all in the same envelope.

1843 $2 Detroit $ St.Joseph Railroad Bank State of Michigan

1883 $1 Bank of Washtenaw

1854 $5 Bank of Kent New York Ludingtonville

How should I handle old currency? Is taking pictures of it bad for it? (thought I read that somewhere). Should I get holders for each one and get them all out of the same envelope?

Definately get them out of the same holder, and I have never heard of photographing bills to be harmful.

Handle them very carefully if they are brittle

Thanks Madspec, I'll get some holders for them and be very careful.

Are they confererate or just bank notes, is there a name for them where I could look up if they hold any kind of value so I can log them in my coin info log. I wish now I would have just brought them home, but it was a hectic day. I hate driving 50 just to go the bank.

I'll share pictures of them soon.
