Products that do not allow the coins to slide around inside thus protecting them from additional or any wear. And they protect the coins from scratches or inadvertent damage because they are hard so other objects can get through the hard plastic to harm the coins. And they protect the coins if you accidentally drop one. Drop a coin while it is in a flip or ziplock and you will almost certainly get a rim ding, or worse, on the coin. Drop it while it is in a hard plastic holder and nothing happens to the coin.</p><p><br /></p><p>The idea of collecting coins is to keep them just as they were when you got them, to protect them from any further damage or wear.
