What's the WORST way to keep your coins?

You must mean the bottom of the tire. No problems with the sides of the tire.

I called them and they said there is now a law that forbids the usage of PVC in food containers.

 

I'll get yelled at for this....but PVC albums are fine. Just make sure the coins are in PVC free flips...this is how I store my ancients and the album was from Littleton.

stainless, I don't know if you are right or not. But I think they are talking about albums where the coin goes directly into a hole in the album, not the kind of album that holds flips or 2X2's.

 

Some very sound advice here. I like the swimming pool one.

Keep the coins in an environment that is not conducive to alot of moisture. Airtites seem to be the flavor of the day right now. What kind of coins are we talking about? copper, BU, Proofs, Ancients, paper, plastic, cardboard? There are some that make great pocket pieces.

Hey, how about putting them in a tupperware bin, filling it half full of coal and dropping it in the pool?

Or if you want to be really safe, send them to Treasure Hunt aka Frank. He has a way of keeping them safe for you forever. Aint that right Frank.. LOL.

 

J. Wayte Raymond 1953 coin album:

My grandmother was a coin collector and my grandfather gave her a
J. Wayte Raymond Roosevelt Dimes album for Christmas 1953.

well, keeping your coins in 10 molar Nitric Acid is not good. There are even super acids which are better. And then storing them in the middle of a nuclear fusion reaction can be interesting. Or in the rain next to Lexington Avenue, or in Rome...just about anywhere.

Give me time and I will think up more.

...dropping them into a Hawaiian Volcano? Storing them anywhere near a Hawaiian Volcano, or anywhere near Seattle?

My list of items not to do or store with coins is as follows:
1. Do not allow relatives to hold them for you
2. Do not allow relatives to handle them
3. Do not tell relatives about them
4. Do not tell neighbors about them
5. Do not tell friends about them
6. Watch them carefully if your wife just heard of a super, great, fantastic sale somewhere
7. Do not pick your nose and then handle coins
8. Do not spit on coins
9. If your kid is drooling, do not allow them to touch the coins
10. If your drooling, do not touch the coins
11. Do not store coins next to an auto battery that leaks
12. Do not store coins in a bucket full of onions, garlic, Vinegar, bacon bits or you may eat them as a salad.
14. Do not take them to a band and expect the same ones back next week
Naturally just like some buildings, there is no 13.
