<p>[QUOTE="Coinman1981, post: 967864, member: 20610"]I've been flattening the back of the staples on my 2x2s since I was a kid. As mentioned earlier, it reduces the risk of scratching other coins when the holder comes in contact with other 2x2-ed coins. Also, you do save a bit of space in 2x2 file boxes because flattening the staples reduces some of the space each holder takes up. Finally, you reduce the risk of scratching or damaging the mylar and cardboard on the other holders when the staples are flattened. </p><p><br /></p><p>I have always just used a simple pair of pliers to flatten the staples. I'm too scared to hammer my 2x2s... I wouldn't want to miss :-/[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
