    Business card sleeves at Staples, $2.79 per 10 sleeves and available anywhere. Not the best choice for heavy coins but I think it will do for cents. What I do when I turn the pages is I fold the sleeve in the middle to keep the coins from sliding around, but overall the pockets are tight enough so that they don't overlap each other. They fit a holder perfectly on the vertical, but you would need to trim the holders 1/8" on each side to get 2 to fit in a pocket. Eventually ill be switching to a 1 1/2 x 1 1/2 holders and sleeves, but I thought I would share this.

    Very innovative! Why don't you staple two holders together, back to back, without folding them, to make one holder (4x2) for two pennies. This way, it will be the size of a business card, nothing will shift and if you chose to take them out, it will be two coins at a time. If the need arises, you can cut the holders in half to get 2x2's, again.

    If it will work even with two side by side . That would be great.$€ living on fixed income every cent counts to coin a phrase.:)

    I hope it's not rude to barge in with an alternative, but I also like the pages for 2x2 slide mounts that you can get from photographic supply places at about the same price. They're laid out just like the (much more expensive) 20-pocket pages sold at JP's, Wizard etc.

    You would still need to trim it down a bit though. The actual pocket width is 3 3/4"
