From a cultural standpoint, collecting paper currency and banknotes from different countries allows anyone to travel all over the globe without having to leave the comforts of their home. Collecting paper currency, just like coins, allows anyone to explore the many different cultures, countries, and continents, along with becoming familiar with the people, nature, geography, and social influences that play a significant role in the various civilizations of our world. In addition, collecting paper currency teaches the collector about the arts, the history, the foreign languages, and even about the politics and government represented by each country’s particular currency. Once the paper currency or banknote collection begins to grow and diversify, each collector can begin to consider themselves an investor in the world’s marketplace, which in turn helps these economies and cultures to prosper.
Banknote and paper currency collecting is a truly exciting and educational hobby enjoyed by thousands of people all over the world, and as every collector knows, their collection requires not only having the very best methods to display or present it, but also ensuring that it is stored and preserved using the most stable and secure currency storage tools available on the market. There are numerous storage solutions available, from a wide variety of currency pages, pocket pages, acrylic currency holders, currency sleeves in archival safe polyester or crystal clear vinyl, currency boxes and currency cases, to currency albums and wallets from Dansco or Whitman.
Safgard Currency Sleeves are inert and archival-safe, and are perfectly suitable for long-term storage requirements for all bank notes and paper currency.

Safgard Currency Sleeves are available in three sizes, Fractional 5 1/4″ x 3″, Modern 6 5/8″ x 3″, and Large 8″ x 3 1/2″.
Damage to any form of paper currency is all too easy through tearing, moisture, oils, acids and salts from skin contact, or even temperature extremes. Currency pages provide a good level of protection against many of these hazards. This is extremely important when friends or fellow collectors might like to enjoy viewing your currency collection without using their bare hands, while keeping them in a perfectly organized and protected currency binder. Currency pages are one of the best methods for storage and protection for paper currency, safeguarding against the effects of dirt, dust, and moisture. Currency pages are available in either vinyl or vinyl-free components, sized based on pockets per page, and can be utilized as strand-alone sheets or in sturdy 3-ring binders.
These durable, crystal-clear polished vinyl pages are designed with electronically sealed edges, which provide visibility on both sides for the best viewing. The 3 pockets per page for large currency, and the 4 pockets per page style is for modern or small currency. Both page styles fit standard 8 ½” x 11″ 3-Ring binder notebooks.
These SuperSafe pages are made from archival-safe, vinyl-free 100% Protar polyester material that provides an acid, oil and PVC-free storage environment for paper currency. For large currency notes, currency pages with fewer pockets per page are more suitable.

They have a fold-over design which leaves both ends open and allows for easier insertion of paper currency or banknotes. SuperSafe Pocket Pages fit 3-ring binders and are available in 1, 2, 3, or 4 pocket styles.
