    I prefer to store my dimes in 2X2s as shown below. I have a question about the two-hole 2X2s. Does anyone know if there are any sources that have the fold next to the upper hole (i.e., on the left edge)? On the ones I have, the fold is opposite to the upper hole (on the right edge) and it is impossible to get a tight closure on the upper hole.

    ttt. I didn't get any responses to this the first time around, so I thought I would ask a different question. Has anyone found a suitable way to close the 2 and 3 hole 2x2s? I am leery of using tape or other adhesive, both from an esthetic standpoint and due to the adhesive being close proximity to the coins. Any help would be appreciated. I don't know how much cross-over there is to the world and ancient group, but would it useful for me post this there as well?

    Never used the 2 hole or 3 hole 2x2's. Just from seeing your photos I don't like them because of the staples. I just do not like the adhesive ones.

    Yeah, that's my problem, too. Unfortunately, the stapling pattern is necessary because the folds are on the opposite side from the holes closest to the edge. If the fold was on the left side of the two-holer and at the bottom of the three-holer (as they are pictured above), the ugly staple pattern would not be needed. Thus, my original question. Whoever designed these things just was not thinking. Again, if anyone knows a source for these things with the fold on the opposite side, I'd love to know about it. I don't think they are available in the U.S., but thought maybe our non-U.S. friends might know of other sources.
