    My local coin shops always has a box full of misc. albums of all types. So I always grab any dansco binder when I see them, even without pages. Why? Glad you asked. Here's what you can do with them:

    Get your empty binder:

    Slap a label on it.

    Cut a 2x2 holder page like so:
    d3.jpg
    The holes from the sheet match the Dansco. Bam!
    d4.jpg
    It will hold many pages.

    FIN

    The total cost for this was about $6 sans the coins.
    If you buy the custom mm pages for the danscos, the costs would be in the millions.

    Lol, you know, "Pimp your Dansco" is the best thread title I have ever seen on CT, and also the most extremely geeky one! Long live coin geeks!

    Dang, still laughing. You kill me man.

    Is that a conservative estimate? :D Pretty good idea, when I saw the title I was expecting some gold plated, bedazzled monstrosity. FIN - was a classy touch.

    Someone had asked me with part of the 2x2 sheets to use when cutting. Use the bottom 4 rows. So cut the top row, and right row off.

    Hello gbroke,
    Thanks for the post. I'm going to post my "pimped" Dansco for error coins in the error forum.

    Thanks! What I now realize, this is actually a much better way to protect the coins, instead of a regular Dansco page. I know this because of the various toning that has occurred throughout my Dansco albums. Anything in the 2x2's exhibits no change over the years.

    Really cool idea. The thread title just sounds like something illegal!
