A New Way to File Bills

I used to waste my time punching holes in my bills to save them in files.  After a few years, I remove them from the files to recycle the paper.  By then, the hooks on the files are rusted and they are not in good condition to be re-used.

So, I have started saving the bills in used coffee bags that are large enough to hold A4 size bills.



Since they are mylar bags, they can be re-used if I want to.  But by then, they may have more value being recycled.
