I wish I could take credit for making it. All I did was restore it. It is actually an old art supply storage cabinet from a school. The bottom row of vertical draws are long enough for binders, the ones above only go 1/2 way through the cabinet. There is a sort of secret section in the back behind them.

My coin collection is out of control. I now have well over 100 Whitman Classic Albums and primarily all full. I have 8 or 9, getting old and can't remember, of those Whitman Red colored cardboard boxes for 2 rows of 2x2's. Also, pretty much full of duplicates not yet in albums. A few large cardboard boxes of Proofs and another of Uncirculated sets from the Mint. Started getting those in the 50's. Several boxes of foreign coins in 2x2's and have no idea of what they are. I don't collect foreign coins but people keep giving them to me. Then of course there are those 3 ringed binders full of those plastic pages that hold 20 2x2's.
Like I said this collection is just out of control.

I have six D-Ring binders with 2x2's that I use for my World coin type collection. Theyre seperarted by contintent. Also have 1 binder for all of my banknotes. The duplicate world coins are kept in 25 cent coins tubes seperated by country.
15 Harris folders.
I keep my extra supplies in a plastic tub in my office.
Three restroom size garbage cans filled with Lincoln's that I have yet to go through.
Stacks of coins scattered throughout the office that I PRE-sort prior to searching for errors or going in binders.

I use 2x2's, albums, folders, coin tubes, coin envelopes, and even a jar for pre-1982 LMC's. In short, pretty much anything. |

Most of my coins are in 2x2s that are kept in 14 D ring binders. The crown sized coins, proof sets etc are kept in a large Pelican case.

My collection lives in Dansco Albums, including a few of their "Coin Stock Books" (7000) for my miscellaneous 2x2's.  My hoards (Lincoln Cents and Jefferson nickels) are in tubes and boxes.  |

I have the usual Whitmans, one Dansco, another folder or two, and most of the rest in 2x2's, although the Romans are in flips. Those are mostly in plastic bags (along with some loose foreign coins) or in cardboard trays, some of which I cobbled up myself. And nearly all of those are in drawers which are not very well set up for a coin collection. I need to look ahead and decide where I'm going with this fun activity; then I need to start looking for a cabinet like Latman has. I do believe I've seen card files (from libraries) before at auctions - maybe I need to troll my own school district where I teach to see what they've discarded. Unfortunately, I don't have room for another cabinet, so something will have to go ... maybe my radio station coffee cup collection? lol

All you need is a brick of sequential notes, a thin piece of cardboard cut the same size as the notes and some elmers glue. Straighten em all up and rub the glue on one side of the notes (top is better I think) When you go to spend em....you get to meet lots of store managers for some reason |
