I've always been curious about the safety of storing cash in a traditional safe. After all, with the humidity and potential condensation that can occur in enclosed spaces, could money actually mold in a safe? I've heard anecdotes about moldy bills found in forgotten safes, but I'm wondering if this is truly a common occurrence. Are there specific conditions that need to be met for money to mold, or is it just a matter of time? And if so, what are the best practices for storing cash securely and safely, without the risk of mold or other damage? It seems like a crucial question for anyone considering the long-term storage of their hard-earned cash.

One such issue is the development of mold. As condensation forms, the damp environment provides an ideal breeding ground for mold spores to proliferate.

Additionally, condensation can cause oxidation on any metal components of the safe, as well as on any metal objects stored within it.

Oxidation can degrade the structural integrity of the safe, compromising its ability to protect contents.

As condensation accumulates, paper items stored in the safe will become damp. This can cause paper to lose its rigidity and become difficult to handle.
