[QUOTE="GDJMSP, post: 3257258, member: 112"]Any product that is manufactured for food storage is inert as it is required to be so, and thus safe for coin storage. Other products, there is no labeling requirement or laws that control such things, and there's lots of things that are not inert - including some coin holders, even some of the hard plastic ones. But usually they are the colored ones, I've seen, heard, or known of any that were clear that were not inert. A simple rule of thumb, only use those things that you know are inert for coin storage, and assume everything else is not. If ya want to know and don't know you can always ask. Odds are somebody here on the forum will know. You can also ask manufacturers, or look it up on their websites, to see what their products are made of. Once you know that you can look up those materials to see if they are inert or not. Red flags - almost all paper and cardboard is bad for coins and to be avoided. If you see the word vinyl used anywhere when describing a product, that is bad news and to be avoided at all cost.[/QUOTE]
