With the Eagle pages, you do not have to remove a whole page from the album and unsnap it open to add or remove a slab like you do with the Lighthouse pages. You can insert coins individually.

Eagle brand pages. I may try this in the next few months. If you're reading this thread months from now and wondering about this, tag me and ask how it went.
