I'm Visiting the Dansco Plant This Monday (August 4th) - What Should I Ask?

Hey everyone,

I have some incredibly exciting news to share! This coming Monday, August 4th, I'll be visiting the Dansco manufacturing plant in Sumas, Washington to do some research on the company's history.

As a long-time admirer of their albums, I'm thrilled for this opportunity to look behind the scenes. My goal is to learn as much as I can and share the story of this iconic company with the coin-collecting community.

To make this visit as valuable as possible for everyone, I want to bring your questions with me. What have you always wanted to know about Dansco? What topics should I be sure to explore?

Here are a few areas I'm planning to dig into:

The Early Days: Who founded Dansco and what were their first products? How did the classic brown albums come to be?

Manufacturing Process: How are the albums actually made? What materials do they use, and what does the production line look like?

Company History: I'm curious about their move from Los Angeles to Washington, how they've handled production challenges over the years (including the recent floods), and who did the historical research for the inside covers.

Future Plans: What's next for Dansco? How do they decide which new albums to make, and what can we expect in the future?

Let me know what you think! Post your questions below, and I'll do my best to get them answered during my visit on Monday.

I can't wait to see what I can learn and report back to you all.

Sound like an awesome visit! I say ask as many questions as possible because I don't know much about them as I've only owned one album and it's tattered and old.
Don't forget to wear your Dansco Hat! Make Us proud. Okay?

Why don’t they put the circulated S quarters in the ATB and Women’s Quarter albums??
What are their plans for the Sesquicentennial coins?
I know they are a ‘smaller’ operation, but it would be nice if they would keep their website up to date and answer customer’s questions on the website.
I love their albums.

 

Have a wonderful time. I hope that all your questions are answered.

 

Have a great time! Sumas is a fairly small town on the Canadian border. It’s an odd place for their plant so I’d like to know if they have any other plants in the US.

 

Do they test the materials used in albums for compatibility with metals used in coinage?

 

I wonder the same thing. It would take an incredible feat to figure out that one especially when it could take years to see a reaction, no? To the coins surface, not the people's reaction.
It is Canada. So, who knows.
