<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Just Carl, post: 137242, member: 4552&quot;]Since your talking about a few hundred coins I too would say use the 2x2&#039;s. If you want to save room, there is also a 1 1/2 x 1 1/2 size available but I hate those. Most dealers have gone to that size at coin shows for coins that are under a half dollar size. Save a fraction of cent each. I would suggest you separate the US coins from the foreign ones first. If you use the 2x2&#039;s, save the boxes they come in and lable each one with something like US or Modern or whatever. On the 2x2&#039;s just staple 3 sides that open. No need to staple the edge that don&#039;t open. Use a pair of pliers to flaten the staples so they lay better in a box and won&#039;t catch others when putting in or out. Don&#039;t worry about long term coin problems by not putting them in some super duper air tight vault with moisture absorbers either. If they&#039;ve been on your desk for a long time, a few more years in 2x2&#039;s won&#039;t make any big difference. As for the room in a 2x2, it all depends on just how much you care for the coin. You could just get one size such as the ones for large dollars and put all coins in them. Or you could buy an assortment and put the proper coin in the proper size 2x2. I use the Cent ones for Cents and Dimes, The quarter ones for nickels and quarters, dollar ones for halves and dollars. </p><p>The 2x2&#039;s usually come in a box with a hundred in them. If you bought say 3 diffent sizes, that would mean you would have 300 2x2&#039;s. Of course you would then find out that 90 % of all your coins are the smaller sizes. Have fun.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
