The issue is gas, specifically the gas put off by the album and its components. All items decay, and as they decay they put off gasses, and it is these gasses that are harmful to coins. So the closer the coins are to the source of those gasses, the worse it is for the coins because there will be a higher concentration of those gasses in the air.</p><p><br /></p><p>And since Air-Tites are not airtight to begin with, and since the plastic they are made of is air permeable, all those harmful gasses still get to your coins.</p><p><br /></p><p>Even vinyl flips, that are infamous for depositing PVC residue on coins, that PVC residue is first put off as a gas and then that gas is what deposits the PVC residue onto your coins. Contact with the flip has nothing to do with it. Your coin could be laying outside the flip, but close to it, and PVC residue would still get deposited onto the coin. So albums that have any vinyl in the cover, or the inner pages - they put PVC residue on your coins too ! Just like the flips do.</p><p><br /></p><p>The one and only answer is to keep all materials that are not inert - away from your coins.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
