[QUOTE="GDJMSP, post: 886043, member: 112"]You have fallen into the "trap" that all too many fall into. When the coin won't stay in the hole, find something that will make it stay there.

Albums specifically built for the coins won't work because you have too many different coins. And nobody wants forty eleven different albums, even if you could find them. So what do you do ? You use tape or glue. Well, let me give you a suggestion and a little trick ;) Instead of using tape or glue, once your coins are in the folder put a piece of Saran Wrap over top of the coins, stretch it tight and around the back. Then tape the Saran Wrap to itself - not the back of the folder. Then get a blow drier, turn it on high and quickly pass it over the wrap, front and back. Don't hold it there long, you don't to heat up the coins, just the wrap. The heat will make it shrink and tighten it up. Then it will hold your coins in place. No glue, no tape, no harm to the coins ;)[/QUOTE]
