[QUOTE="GDJMSP, post: 3352531, member: 112"]No they are not, not even close. In simple terms there's not much available to the average person that is airtight. No coin holder is, absolutely none of them are. Neither are Ziplock bags, or Tupperware and RubberMaid containers. Part of the problem is that just all plastics are air permeable, meaning air goes right through the face of the plastic itself. It passes through slowly but it most definitely passes right through the plastic. Even so those are about the best options we have. And using glass containers, well glass works if an effective seal is used in conjunction with it but glass has its own share of downsides like it is easily broken. But yes it does work. Mason Jars or Ball Jars are the two most common and readily available sources for truly airtight containers. But about all you can do is to place the coins in individual Air-Tite brand coin holders, then place those in the jars before you seal them up. But that's not a storage method that many wish to pursue.[/QUOTE]
