I've had my Littleton green folders for many years now the nickels keep falling out as I fold it up.

I look through rolls of coins and once in a while find a better condition coin I'll replace one with, but some of the ones falling out are ones I never replaced. Is this normal? Do they naturally waken over time?

Do the blue Whitman folders hold coins better?

I store my 2nd and 3rd string coins in the blue Whitman folders and like you have some problem slots/holes. I just take a snippet of paper and lay it over and beyond the hole, then press coin in. Seems to hold fine when closing up the folder.

That is an age old problem with the blue Whitman folders going as far back as I can remember. This is one reason we still see old cent coins with tape residue on them.

Now I keep my coins in Dansco albums. the pages have a clear plastic sheet that keeps the coins contained. There are other brands other than Dansco that folks here use (Whitman Albums) is one of them.
