Message:: [QUOTE="Just Carl, post: 525415, member: 4552"]I well know what you mean by coins of all different sizes from other countries. I don't collect them as a foreign coin collector but one place I used to work had people from all over the World. Every time I mentioned I collected coins I would be handed coins from thier country from wherever they came from. They used to go into a larg box. After a while I thought this is not to smart so at a coin show I found these little packages of plastic bags. They are ment for coins. An assortment came in about 5 different sizes. About 25 in each pile. These are real thin so when you put a coin in them you can just turn over the end, seal with tape, place in a cardboard box and they will be there until the end of time, maybe. The larger ones I put in one of those about one foot long red cardboard boxes with two rows ment for 2x2's. The other ones are just in a cardboard box. I have vertually thousands of the things. So many have things on them I have no idea of what they say, where they are from, nor the dates or almost anything. However, they were free so I keep them. Those little plasitic bags things are about 4 or 5 inches long and vary in width. Try a coin store for those. Some coins have been in them for many years now and no problems.[/QUOTE]
