KisNap Pillar of the Community United States 510 Posts	Posted Yesterday 11:11 pm 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? Report this Post to the Staff

Greasy Fingers Pillar of the Community United States 7394 Posts	Posted Today 12H 55M ago 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. Report this Post to the Staff

Dearborn Moderator United States 110055 Posts	Posted Today 5H 41M ago 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. Collecting since 1972. Learning from then on "Tell me and I forget. Teach me and I remember.

jpsned Pillar of the Community United States 2264 Posts	Posted Today 1H 27M ago The only Whitman folders that coins have fallen out of are ones that my cousin had back in the 1950s. And only a couple have fallen out. I've had Whitman folders since the early 1970s and have never had this problem. If you use their "lock-in" feature correctly, the coins will not come out.
