How long do seeds stay fresh?

Just as the title says. I've had a baggie of seeds for a few months and I was wondering how long it usually takes for a seed to go bad (ungrowable). And also, is there a way to tell if they've gone bad?

I think they *can* last a really long time. Wether they WILL or not is a good question.
And you can test by germinating them

Ive popped 4 year old before. Just make sure they are stored in a relatively dry place. preferably for me... a small ring baggie

I found some seeds in my dads shed that he said were from the '70s... They didn't work

From what I understand(don't take this to the bank) the older the seed gets the harder the shell gets. Need to sand it a little bit to help water get in.
Also theres a thread somewhere about bitting the seed just enough to crack it.
