[QUOTE="Oldhoopster, post: 4277687, member: 84179"]I have hundreds of low value coins in cardboard 2x2s (All with the staples crimped :shame:). They are cheap and easy to write on. Better stuff goes into Mylar flips. Make sure the flips DON'T contain PVC. I actually like the flips better, but the Safeflips are more expensive and brittle, so if you keep removing the coins, they will eventually crack along the fold.
