<p>[QUOTE="Just Carl, post: 725235, member: 4552"]What you mention is not likely to ever happen. You must realize that due to wear, many coins will fit really loosely in the slots made for a full coin. Then too many brand new coins are completely new with no wear at all so the slots are sort of made for that. They fit in tighly so they don't move around. </p><p>There are numerous other problems also. Manufacturing processes always contain what is called tolerences. In some instances it is practically 0. In others it is really almost a joke. For example in medical instruments it is critical to have tolerences really small. A Steel item such as an I-Beam may have as much as + or - 1/2" for a tolerance. </p><p>Due to such tolerances in manufacturing, pages for coins are mass produced and the exact sizes of those slots is probably within thier tolerances for each organization. Therefore, regardless of any possible newer invention on how to produce them, such tolerances will always be there to irritate us all. </p><p>Who knows in the far distant future an Album may be so that as you lower the coin to the page, a slot will automatically open for just that coin. HMMMM. Now there is an idea. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie11" alt=":rolleyes:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
