Come springtime however, the snow in Minnesota — where the movie takes place — will melt, soaking the cash. Now, money is designed to get wet, which is why if you accidentally wash the cash in your pocket, the money survives. “Money contains a lot of ‘wet strength,’ a chemical that’s added during the manufacture of the paper,” Cobb says. “Wet strength adds strength to paper when it’s exposed to water and moisture.” The fact that it’s made of cotton and linen — and not typical paper — is also part of the reason it’ll last, and Cobb adds that cash is also “pressed under thousands of pounds of pressure, which further strengthens the bonding, and adds that crispness to new money.” Still, “wet strength” won’t protect Buscemi’s stash forever, as Cobb notes, “the degradation process will accelerate as soon as the weather warms up, and since the money is bound in stacks, the outer bills will decay much faster, while the inner bills will be somewhat protected. The money will remain moist or wet for a long time, even if not sitting in water, and it will continue to degrade.” He expects that within a few years, those outer bills won’t be salvageable, but the inner bills may last a few decades thanks to less moisture and less exposure to mold spores in the air. Fortunately, this movie cash did not go to waste. As depicted in the Fargo TV series, it was recovered the same year — 1987 — by Stavros Milos, who uses the cash to become the “Supermarket King of Minnesota.” The Ben Affleck action flick Triple Frontier may suffer from that movie-of-the-week feel that many Netflix original films have, but it does have a pretty awesome scene where the main characters discover the hidden stash from a South American crime boss. While this has no other protection aside from the walls themselves, Cobb says that if it stays dry, it could last over 100 years — perhaps even 150 years — which he’s seen in many cases in his work. “It will probably fade some and get brittle,” Cobb says, but of all the scenarios depicted here, it’s probably your best bet, assuming it stays dry, you don’t have mice and you’re handy with installing some new drywall. So at least we got something worthwhile out of this movie!

Read More »After driving off at the end of Breaking Bad, we learn in El Camino that Jesse eventually heads to the apartment of Todd, his white-supremacist captor, who once alluded to some hidden money in the apartment. After tearing the place apart in a desperate search for cash, Pinkman finds it by accident in the door of a refrigerator. In there, Cobb says the money would get exposed to moisture and mold, the latter of which will be especially bad if there’s still food in the fridge. Overall though, Cobb says that a fridge isn’t bad for a storage unit, and the cash may last a few decades. Michael Bluth only found out that there was hidden money in the walls of the banana stand after he burned it to the ground, despite years of being told “there’s always money in the banana stand” by his father. Had he not torched the stand, Cobb says, the thin, shed-like walls of the banana stand — along with the mild California climate where it was located — would shield it from the elements fairly well, including the moisture from the sea (as it was on the boardwalk). Overall, Cobb says that this non-taxable Bluth income could have lasted a good 60 to 100 years, so while there couldn’t “always” be money in the banana stand, close to a century is pretty good — especially since that just might be how long you’d go to jail for after pulling off that ATM heist in the first place.
