steve - Oz 50c man Valued Member Australia 490 Posts	Posted 11/17/2011 11:57 pm will post some pics when I get home later, or over the weekend if the boss (missus) has other jobs for me to do tonight, but I use the 8 pocket vario pages (non acid) in an album and they look great and keeps them all nice and secure. Oh, I should mention that all of mine are the business card size 50c ones... Report this Post to the Staff
LukeDARLING Valued Member Australia 56 Posts	Posted 11/18/2011 01:43 am I've got a few 50 cents, but most of mine are dollars. I've got them laid flat in two drawers, but need a new place for them! Report this Post to the Staff

CoinManTim Valued Member Australia 318 Posts	Posted 11/18/2011 02:00 am I got a big box from The Reject Shop or whatever it was, and I put them in food safe clip-lock bags. That way all the mint marks stay together (eg the SMBC set all together). Then if I have multiple of something that isn't a mintmark set - like the 2008 Mary Mackillop, I'll put all of them in the same cliplock bag. - As I understand it, foodsafe bags are PVC free so no dramas with storing in this way, and they're a good size.

steve - Oz 50c man Valued Member Australia 490 Posts	Posted 11/18/2011 05:08 am Here are my vario pages - these are for the display album. I use a combination of 8 pocket and 1 pocket for different sizes, but you could use what ever size suites. Like CoinManTim, spares are stored in food safe zippy bags - and yes, food safe means acid free. Report this Post to the Staff
the-purple-penny Pillar of the Community Australia 515 Posts	Posted 11/18/2011 5:16 pm I store my unc dollars similar to Steve. I have the Vario 1c, 2c, 3c and 4c and as the packaging is everchanging I choose what page fits at the time. I do however remove all the coins (where possible) and store them in the back of the album in Saflips in 2x2 pages. 5 albums and counting... Report this Post to the Staff
