<p>[QUOTE=&quot;GDJMSP, post: 1571306, member: 112&quot;]If by original containers you mean the hard plastic capsules, yes that would be fine.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Mostly correct, but there is no such thing as an airtight container. A sealed or closed container like a safe or a Tupperware container is good enough. And yes a Ziploc would work.

In the first place, by the time you get them, they are no good anymore.

It&#039;s big enough to do the job and you only have to buy it once.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Absolutely not ! Those little tiny packets are worthless (as noted above) and if placed next to or on the coin they may even scratch the coins.</p><p><br /></p><p>Put your coins, that are already in slabs or hard plastic coin holders, in the Ziploc or other container, and put the silica pack in the container as well.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
