Could you please elaborate on the likelihood of paper money sustaining damage in a fireproof safe? Given the purported fire-resistant nature of such safes, would the paper currency inside be able to withstand extreme heat without burning? Or are there certain conditions or limitations to these safes that could potentially allow for paper money to be damaged in a fire? I'm curious to understand the science behind how a fireproof safe protects its contents, especially when it comes to highly combustible materials like paper money.

In the event of a fire, if a safe is exposed to intense heat for a prolonged period, the interior temperature can rise significantly.

This rise in temperature can potentially reach levels high enough to cause the paper money inside the safe to ignite and combust.

When it comes to the durability of American currency, it's worth noting its combustion threshold.

To determine the safe's resistance to such conditions, one should consider its fire rating.
