<p>[QUOTE="rlm's cents, post: 1348287, member: 7957"]PVC is a plastic and normally it is quite stiff. I realize that there are several here who will disagree with this, but pure PVC is quite safe with coins. However, in order to make the PVC flexible, they add what is called a plasticizer. The plasticizer is the origin of both the smell and the vapors causing the problems.</p><p><br /></p><p>So far as I am aware, PVC with the plasticizer is not permitted to be used with food. Therefore, food containers should be safe to use. I am not aware of any cardboard 2X2 whit PVC. However, a lot of the clear plastic flips are PVC. They are the softer of the ones out there[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
