Me too, but I got tired of how it looked, so then I bought a sufficient quantity of each size that it doesn't happen anymore. Now the only time there is a mismatch in diameter with the 2x2 is when the coin is extra-thick. Those I like to use with over-sized windows.

OzCollection Valued Member Australia 129 Posts	Posted 07/06/2025 07:22 am Personally I'm not a fan of using 2x2s as a go-to way of storing coins. Too much effort, money and staples Maybe I do so for my Australian commemoratives, but most things I throw either into boxes or bags labelled by country, denomination and/or era. Others I throw into a big bag labelled "TO BE SORTED" ... which I ultimately will never get too doing as I've run out of bags but each to their own way I guess.

A long, long, long time ago I got a really good deal for a bulk of half dollar sized 2x2s, so almost all my coins were in that size. Over the years they got replaced, but it was something that proved economical at the time.
