What is “safe” about storing $1000 on a piece of paper that you “forget about for five years”?


Paper should last longer in a firesafe than most digital devices and is quite a trustworthy device. Paper has an autoignition temperature of 450 degrees F, so a UL class 350 rated fire safe should keep your paper documents safe, but those temperatures might ruin digital storage devices.


Just imagine it is some obscure paper currency that you put into your safe.
