Sorting And Storage And Limited Space

maybe not what you are looking for, but I've recently been on a wire closet shelving installation spree.... I've learned some tricks for doing it fast, so I've put it all over every closet and laundry area we have. Just a thought!

I need something smaller than the coin boxes from the bank, though I uses those for larger piles of coins already, and for storing rolls. Many piles, small space. Something like this maybe?



Something like that would be nice because it's vertical and takes up less space but is easy to access. Or possibly those drawer things people use to store nuts and bolts and stuff.

Just wondering what people use...

The drawers might be nicer because I can pull them out while sorting, toss them back in when I'm done, rearrange them, label them, etc. Hmmm... I guess I'll go to the hardware store or someplace and take a look. Thanks.

You could end this problem by simply sending me all your coins. No coins, no problems.
Of course there are those Storage things they advertise on TV where you only pay $1 for the first Month. Some are 10' x 20' too.
Or one of those Sears multi drawer tool cabinets.
Myself, I gave up trying to not take up to much space with coins a long time ago. Collecting coins is like almost anything else. The more room you allow for them, the more you'll accumulate so it is sort of a never ending story.
I've always wanted to win the lottery so I could buy a house with multiple rooms and have at least one for just coins. Imagine a possible 15 x 15 foot room with glass cabinets on all walls and full of coins.

With CA lotto at 100 Million+ , I'm already dreaming about what my coin room(s) would look like hehe.

Imagine winning that and going to a coin show. Walk up to a dealer and say I'll take everything on your table. Price? Add on 10% to take your family out on the town.

I ended up getting this:


It didn't occur to me to make sure the plastic was a safe kind before I got it, but it turns out the drawers are polypropylene and the body is polystyrene which are both coin-safe AFAIK. No PVC anyhow.

Oddly enough you would be amazed at how many times in the past I've come back from a bank with a $50 bag of pennies(cents). Sat down and gone through them one at a time. Almost all ended up back in the banks though but eventually filled many Albums or close to that. Of course that was a long time ago when there were still some coins of value around and an Album didn't have a lot of slots yet.
I USED to put massive amounts of what I thought would someday be valuable in those plastic rolls. Naturally sorted by dates and mints. Eventually I realized it would take a thousand years for most to be worth the trouble so I started taking those to the banks too. Just didn't want to wait a thousand years yet.
