    • 1

      Wash your hands. Dry them thoroughly.

    • 2

      Open the Mylar holder.

      Carefully slide the bill into the holder, taking care not to bend or tear it. Touch as little of the bill as possible. The oils on your fingers can leave a residue that will deteriorate the paper over time.

      Store your money in a cool, dry place, out of direct sunlight, which can fade it. Humidity also can deteriorate the paper and ink.
