<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Just Carl, post: 86996, member: 4552&quot;]I&#039;ve had that problem when I was a kid and found that if you really have to use one of those dumb albums the best thing to do is to take a coin that you don&#039;t like and rub it firmly around the edge of the slot. This will make it a slight bit easier to insert the actually coin you want and yes your correct that it has to go in on an angle first. I say use a coin you don&#039;t like to make the hole larger because that also messes up the coin. Use a coin with a ribbed edge because that works better. </p><p>HOWEVER, if you really want to collect the coin as a hobby and not as a novelty, don&#039;t use those type of albums. Pushing them into that album will help distroy the coin and the back will eventually be a discolored mess also. IF you want to just save the new quarters or nickels or whatever, try the Whitman Classic Albums. They have a web site like the rest of the world but cheaper at most coin stores. Get the one that is for the recent dates or get a blank one and add blank pages as needed. I&#039;ve been adding pages to my albums until it becomes hard to close the covers. I&quot;ve got 10 pages in my Lincoln Cent album to cover the years from 1909 to possibly 2050.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
