I'm really curious go why they don't make more Canadian coinage albums.

An album for Canadian cents and nickels would be fantastic.

Sumas, WA (and other cities in Western Washington) have been hard hit by flooding in the past several days. . .
I saw that reported this weekend. After the last flood, I hope they created a plan to protect equipment, inventory, etc.

I have to assume, lack of demand.

It would. I suggest letting them know. It could not hurt. If anything, they might consider it.

Also, I know they used to print up custom binders and pages on request. Might not hurt to ask them about that, too.

I would like to see Dansco make more Mexico Libertad 1 Onza albums - the 'after market' ones really suck, and are expensive.

This is just awful. When I visited, I mentally noted how all their machinery were on the same elevation as the road. The owners showed me the water line on the wall from the 2021 flood.

As their operations take place in a converted grocery store, they use the previous grocery aisle to hold materials on shelves.

It wouldn't surprise me if some of their machines weigh more than a ton.

They told me that they were really worried the last flood would be the end of the company. I fear this may be the final blow. We'll have to wait and see.

If folks here want to, you can leave a message/note for the Dansco family here. [Bottom of the page]

wow, I guess I missed (overlooked) Capt. Billy's post above. I hope they are all safe up there. I went and left a message to them on their site.

It looks like the Dansco building is only 1200 feet from the vantage point taken on that video.

I just heard back from the family that runs Dansco's operations that they were spared from the recent Sumas floods! In their words:

"An incredible and miraculous situation, we had water in the building, but not much. A day of mopping and we are back to work."

This is so great to hear

Hurray! That is definitely a huge relief and I'm glad to hear they're back up and running! Thanks for the update, DanscoAlbumDude!

Ya, that shop must be just ever so higher in elevation than where that river (creek) overflowed its banks. I had used Google maps and that Video Billy posted and measured only 1200 feet from the bridge to the Dansco store.

I guess the 2021 flooding was worse and is why it affected them.
