<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Just Carl, post: 466598, member: 4552&quot;]Your talking apples and oranges here. The statement from Littleton is based on thier up to date, modern products and has nothing to do with items in the past. Regardless, if you do searches on most coin forums for that name, Littleton, you would not have bothered to call them. Nor would you have purchased one of thier products. </p><p>However, the statement that PVC does not harm coins is in reality correct. As noted already it is the additives of Phthalates that makes this substance a little on the dangerous side. Such additives are included to make the substance of PVC more flexible. It is a well known fact that over time these additives leak out leaving the PVC rigid and sometimes brittle. Please note that in most hardware stores PVC piping is sold for all household materials. Since this is not intended to be flexible, nothing is added that is harmfull or your entire house would probably turn green.:rolling::goofer:</p><p>PVC itself is a very stable covalent polymer type compound that doesn&#039;t even begin to melt until 212 degrees F. PVC is simply Polyninyl Chloride, C4 H6 Cl2. </p><p>In other words PVC will no hurt your coins unless you place them in locations where a temperature is sufficient to start melting the PVC. </p><p>Remember that the additives put into the PVC to make it flexible have a limited quantity and eventually all leaks out of the substance. Therefore, pending the age of that album, most should have leaked out by now. </p><p>By the way just where do you buy your shower curtains that smell.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
