[QUOTE="John Burgess, post: 7390463, member: 105098"]well.... you could buy a new page I suppose and replace that page for about $4.99 on Amazon, it's 9139-2, cheaper than replacing the album.. Short of this, you could I guess attempt, with distilled water so no contaminants being added, slowly dampening the hole edge while it's empty to get the board to expand a little around the edge and then let it dry and it might hold the coins a little tighter. you may wind up still needing to buy a replacement page, but that's where you're at now anyways. I've had luck running a damp qtip around the inner lip of the hole for a bit on much older albums. really depends on how far stretched out it is.if it's just a little bit, it will work. there also should be clear plastic slides to cover the coins in the pages. with the clear slides in place the coins shouldn't really fall out, they really can't. If you are missing the clear plastic slides, I think you could probably cut up a pack of clear currency holders (rigid ones) and make slides to fit your album, but I don't think they sell a replacement for the slides that come with the album.[/QUOTE]
