How to preserve your precious ticket?

If you have found a rare note, it is crucial to store it well to  maintain (or even increase) its value  :

• Use a protective sleeve  : Acid-free plastic prevents deterioration.
• Protect it from light  : Exposure to sunlight can fade the colors.
• Avoid excessive handling  : The less a note is creased, the more it retains its value.
• Store it in a stable place  : Humidity and temperature variations can damage it.

Finally, keep an eye on the coin market: some notes increase in value over time, depending on supply and demand.  A quick check of your notes today could well net you a nice sum tomorrow!
