[QUOTE="CamaroDMD, post: 5166864, member: 5233"]I agree with you they are bad for coins...but if we are talking about young kids picking coins out of change, they are a cheap and easy way to do it. That is more about sparking an interest rather than assembling a set that is going to have value over a lifetime. As you and I both know, there really aren't any good "album" based systems for coins that are good for the coins. There really aren't any good ways to display coins in any way that I have found. Frankly, that has been one of the big struggles for me in this hobby. But, I don't see any harm in using blue folders to collect circulation coins.
