[QUOTE="The Meat man, post: 23781587, member: 135271"]Thanks! I did try to see what woods might be best/safer for coins but there wasn't a whole lot of information out there. Mahogany is always given as the best option, and oak as maybe the worst. Walnut seemed to be about as good as any. I guess we will see! As for felt, again I couldn't find much, but it seemed to me that it was a pretty common option so I thought it would probably be alright. First choice was velvet but the thought of hand-cutting 500 circles was not appealing. :eek: I'm not too concerned about it. I have a feeling that I will be opening, looking at, and handling the coins enough that any possible wood problem will not be an issue. :)[/QUOTE]
