Question:

will it hurt paper money if you wrap it in aluminum foil, and keep it in the freezer?

my dad lives in Alaska, and he has money in the freezer wraped in aluminum foil He's had it there for 11 yearsWill that hurt the money?

Answer:

there is some kind of special bottle that has two walls to keep it hot or cold i guess you can find them at walmart
If the money is 11 years old, it's possible he could have some money that's worth something more than face valueIf he has any money that are star notes and low serial numbers, they could be valuableRemember that money changed over at about 1999 to the new style, so he has the old style money from approx1995 seriesHere's what kind of serial you are looking for should you guys go through it: 00002691 (star at the end of the serial number) or 00666600 (unique serial number)The stars with low serial are the most valuableWater damage is an issue with the notes! That will decrease the value, so you better figure out the best way to thaw the notes without damaging themRip them, bend the corners, fold them down the center.you are ticking off valueOh and I didn't see that anyone said that money is not paper.it's actually mostly cotton, so it's not like it's going to ruin the money.
