This doesn’t necessarily guard against
pests… I’ve personally seen instances where a mouse has chewed
though a heavy plastic container to get at freeze dried and vacuum sealed
astronaut dinners.

Subject: [MUSEUM-L] Chocolate
coins
Good morning all -
I was recently gifted with four metal-foil
wrapped chocolate coins relating to the sesquicentennial of museum/archives
parent organization. All of the wrappers are intact, although one is starting
to peel on an edge. I'm sure its been discussed before, but would anyone have
any suggestions regarding storing these coins in the collection and if it would
be advisable in the first place?
Many thanks -
Kathleen
