I have several coins stored in them since the late 1960s with no adverse affects. By using 2x2s you can continuously organize your collection as it grows. You can get plastic 20 pocket pages for 3-ring binders and 12 pocket pages for Dansco albums. This works well for me personally because I don't live in a humid state and can keep my coins in a secure cool dry place. Avoid storage in any location that might have large temperature fluctuations like near an outside wall or attic. You might think that storage in a bank vault is free from contamination but you never know what they use to clean the floor & walls which might eventually creep into your coins. If you cannot provide your coins with a secure cool dry place, then put them in ultrasonically sealed slabs or use Airtites & Intercept Shields as required. Good luck & happy collecting.</font></span></font></span></p><p><span style="color: black"><font face="Verdana"><span style="color: black"><font face="Verdana">-collect89</font></span></font></span></p><p><span style="color: black"><font face="Verdana"></font></span>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
