Advice on coin removal from direct fit airtite

What about the foam ring material?

 

Another recommendation for the hair dryer - I had the same problem, tried some of the other methods mentioned here, but the hair dryer was the winner..

 

Good enough for me to try that if I ever need to do it. But what I need to know, before I put any of my coins in Airtites is what's the best way to insert them in the first place without using my fingers?

 

Great! Thanks a lot!

 

For starters, a coin won't get stuck in a foam-ring airtite as it has with the OP's direct-fit.

That is, some coins don't fit perfectly in a direct-fit. Coins can get stuck or rattle annoyingly (at least I think it's annoying).

A big plus for the foam-ring airtites: They can be used for over- and under-sized coins; cut the foam ring as needed. Especially handy for odd-shaped coins:


But the foam ring will completely hide any edge inscription. And it takes a bit more storage space than a direct-fit.

 

I wouldn't use the refrigerator's freezer compartment if you have an active house where someone opens it every 20 minutes. But there should be minimum water vapor in a deep freezer temperature, and any on the surface would evaporate quickly
