For large-sized
World currency, I have used Supersafe, Guardhouse & LIghthouse (Leuchtturm), Myalar & other brand names (all excellent quality currency sleeves). To see some of the best PVC/acid-free sleeves check out this
Wizard Currency Supply link:
https://www.wizardcoinsupply.com/pr...ncy-sleeves/90% of the above are "top loaders" but the other 10% are the folding type which are very nice (with open sides) for the big-boxy older, European large formatted notes (France, Italy, etc). I got the odd open-sided sleeve from World sellers but then had a few large orders from
Allen's Coins of Ohio & all of their notes were in these huge 5"X8" holders. I would call them & ask before placing an order.

I've seen a lot of online chat from collectors who champion one brand over another, like BCW, but you have to go with the sleeve that works for you.
Good luck!
