<p>[QUOTE=&quot;mlov43, post: 24750347, member: 16729&quot;]Some have seen my Korean Dansco Albums.&nbsp; </p><p>Here is an update video of me adding the latest coins to these albums and completely filling four of them.&nbsp; I only have six more years to go, and the holes in all six of these albums will all be filled.&nbsp; Below the video, I&#039;ll include instructions for building such an album.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>[MEDIA=youtube]x_mVlSfJ99s[/MEDIA]</p><p><br /></p><p>The albums you see in the video are homemade. You have to source the materials yourself and assemble them. </p><p><br /></p><p>However, the materials should be easy enough to find at online coin supply retailers. I get my Airtite capsules from valleycoin.com. </p><p><br /></p><p><b><u>To assemble these albums: </u></b></p><p><br /></p><p>First, I use I use Airtite plastic capsules with black rings. I use the black rings (Airtites makes white rings, too) because the company&#039;s &quot;direct fit&quot; capsules will make the coins rattle, and anyway, there are no direct fit capsules that work with all the South Korean coin diameter sizes. </p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp;I place the One-Won, Five-won and the new (2006-present) 10-Won coins into Airtites&#039; &quot;A-Size&quot; capsules. The foam rings need to be slightly smaller than the actual diameter sizes of the coins. For example, the One-Won coin is 17.2mm in diameter, therefore I use 17mm black foam rings for &quot;A-Size&quot; capsules. The 100-Won coin is 24mm, so you need to use 23mm foam rings. </p><p><br /></p><p>Here are the rings and capsules sizes I use for these albums: </p><p>One-Won: 17mm rings in A-Size capsules </p><p>Five-Won: 20mm rings in A-Size capsules </p><p>10-Won: 22mm rings in T-Size capsules </p><p>50-Won: 21mm rings in T-Size capsules </p><p>100-Won: 23mm rings in T-Size capsules </p><p>500-Won: 26mm &quot;non-standard&quot; rings (available from valleycoin.com) in T-Size capsules </p><p><br /></p><p>The Dancso coin album pages are two of these pages adhered together (I use Scotch Permanent Double-sided Tape ...make sure the holes for the coins line up perfectly when taping the coin pages together!). I use two pages stuck together so that the Airtite capsules fit into them. I use Dansco coin album-page millimeter sizes 32mm and 37mm. These millimeter-page sizes are the sizes of the coin HOLES in the pages. The A-Size capsules for the One-Won and Five-Won coins fit into the 32mm size Dansco pages. The T-Size capsules fit into the 37mm pages and the commemorative coin pages in my type set use 44mm Dansco coin pages. </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>I bind the pages (four double-sided pages, maximum) into a 1 and 1/4-inch Dansco World blank binder. I did the lettering on the albums&#039; spines myself with gold acrylic paint and stencils in the &quot;brush&quot; font, and I had the front cover professionally stenciled by Litho Tech Custom Cover in Bloomington, Minnesota. You might want to ask a local lithographer if they have &quot;hot foil stamping&quot; ability, because that&#039;s how they do it. The font I used is a cursive font called &quot;brush,&quot; which is similar to Dansco&#039;s traditional font seen on their albums&#039; front covers and spines. </p><p><br /></p><p>The lettering beneath each coin on the pages (the dates, KM numbers, etc) was done using matte (not gloss) blank Avery Dennison &quot;Clear Easy Peel Return Address Labels&quot; that I ran off my computer&#039;s printer and cut down to size. I know the labels are not completely transparent, but it&#039;s the best I could do.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
