Organizing Coins Without Flips

to the Community!

I would not put them in the pocket without using a cardboard 2x2 flip. These help hold the coin securely in place. A coin will shift around or even fall out if you just put it in the pocket without the flip, even if the pocket seems to be the "right size" for the coin.

I know it might be time consuming, but try to think of it as extra time with your coins! Remember, you do not have to do it all in one day!

I too have a large amount of foreign coins. What I've done to avoid what your talking about is use those 3 ringed binder type pages with the 20 slots for 2x2's. Put the larger coin directly in those. If large enough, they will not move around. And if the pages are new, they are kind of tight. For the really small coins, get a pile of the dollar coin sized 2x2's. Place several of the really small coins in those. Make sure you flatten any staples used on the 2x2's. Also, there are plastic flips available with spaces for coins on two sides of those flips. If you use those and place them in the slots for the 2x2's in a 3 ringed binder you can turn the page and see coins on both sides of the sheets.
I have no idea of what many of the coins are nor where they are from so the order doesn't matter to me. People have been giving me foreign coins for many, many years now. When they first gave them to me they told me what they were but after a few hours I forget.
