Banknotes

Numismatic supplies for banknotes encompass all the conservation, organisation and protection accessories designed for banknote collections. These items help preserve the physical integrity of old and modern banknotes, whether French banknotes, foreign banknotes or emergency banknotes.

Banknote sleeves are made from neutral materials, free from acids and harmful plasticisers, so as not to damage the inks, watermarks or characteristic relief features of old banknotes. They are available in several standardised formats corresponding to the dimensions of the main international denominations.

Banknote binders and numismatic albums offer transparent pages with multiple compartments, enabling methodical organisation by issuing country, historical period or watermark type. Some models are specifically designed to accommodate non-standard formats, such as large 19th-century banknotes or First World War banknotes.

Rigid banknote holders provide enhanced protection for high-value collectible banknotes, particularly graded banknotes or those certified by specialist bodies such as PMG (Paper Money Guaranty) or PCGS Currency. These transparent holders allow both sides to be examined without directly handling the banknote.

Banknote storage boxes complete this range by offering a long-term storage solution, protecting banknotes from light, humidity and temperature fluctuations ? the main causes of deterioration of paper currency substrates.

The use of banknote tongs without sharp edges and cotton gloves suitable for handling old banknotes is also among the essential accessories for any collector who wishes to maintain the condition of their collectible banknotes.
