    Hi I just last week ordered about 500 cardboard flips and not sure how to use them. I put a silver quarter in one and stapled around the edges but it seems to float around and sometimes even goes a tad below the circle. Am I doing something wrong? How do you prepair a flip?
    THANKS JON

    I staple all four corners and staple them close to the coin as supposed to the sides. If you're using the right size flips then four should do it.

    George is 100% correct. As long as you're using the correct size, try stapling closer to the coin.

    I use 4 staples placed equidistant from each other and I try to get it midway between the coin and the edge of the flip maybe a little closer to the coin than the edge. Also, I prefer using one size larger flip than coin, for example a 50c flip for a 25c coin, or a 25c flip for a 5c, etc.
