cgmeiergarrett New Member United States 22 Posts	Posted 02/22/2008 10:00 pm Hey, this weekend we are making plans to get are house fumigated for termites and I was wondering if the chemicals they pump into the house would ruin my coins in any way. Please help! Report this Post to the Staff

Kabiye_Lady Pillar of the Community United States 581 Posts	Posted 02/22/2008 11:35 pm I would guess so. If you're concerned enough to post the question, you should probably move them. Do you have tons and tons or can they be put in a cardboard box and brought over to my place? Seriously, if they can be easily moved, why take the chance? Report this Post to the Staff

gussyboy1 Valued Member United States 174 Posts	Posted 02/23/2008 12:49 pm GET THEM OUT OF THE HOUSE!Those are your babies and they will suffer being in those chemicals! Seriously, My mom had her house fumagated and she had a handful of cents in a tray on the kitchen counter--it left a film on them and later they started to turn color.

There have been reports of people using gas masks at night going into such houses and BORROWING anything not nailed down. Report this Post to the Staff
