<p>[QUOTE="1865King, post: 7698078, member: 103207"]I have some coins in the 2 x 2's since I was a kid over 50 years ago. Never had a problem. I can say the same when looking at coins in a dealer's stock. I've seen coins that have been in them for a very long time. Removing coins from these isn't hard. Needle nose plyers pulling the staples out works fine. I've also done it with a pair of scissors cutting close the the staples. What I would avoid is ripping the 2 x 2 open by grabbing an edge and pulling them apart. The coin could drop and hit something or when pulling the coin out there is a chance to scratch the coin if it goes against a staple.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
