If you are asking about the hard plastic tubes sold by coin stores, they are not likely to have PVC, as it's purpose in plastic is to serve as a softener.
If I am not mistaking ziplocks have no PVC in them.A pretty good way to get an idea if something has PVC is to see if the item has the smell of a new shower curtain.Once you smell a flip that has PVC you will not mistake the smell again.
Ziploc (tm) bags manufactured by SC Johnson are made of LDPE, and it's considered safe for coin storage: http://groups-beta.google.com/group...:john+author:muchow&hl=en&lr=&ie=UTF-8&rnum=5 Generally, bags made for food storage may not contain any PVC, but cheap no-name ziploc bags may contain small amounts of PVC.
I had some small 2x2 plastic ziplocks that I got at a flea market. I put some Unc SBA's in them and about a month later I noticed the coins had turned a dull grayish color. Is that a sure sign that the bags contained pvc?
