Does anyone have the card board 2x2's that you staple from a US dealer like Wizards or some else that can tell me the size in mm, I need to know the size of the holder for the small dollars and the next size up. I'm hoping they are 27mm and 30mm.

I have tried emailing Wizard but that was a week ago.

CA has discontinued these sizes so they now go .25 cent - 24mm to a 32mm that they say is for .50 - 1.00 and 2.00 too big of a gap.

Thanks

Been using half dollar 2x2s for U.S. small dollar, since I have a surplus of them. They measure approx 31 mm, which of course matches the U.S. specs. Thus, the small dollar 2x2s must be near 27 mm.

Yeah, pretty sure it's 27 mm for the small dollar 2x2s but didn't want to tell you something I don't actually have in hand. As I mentioned, next size up (half dollar) is 31 mm, as measured this morning.

@mcshilling: I found a reference to an inside diameter of 26.2 mm for the small dollar 2x2, but this seems small to me considering the coin's diameter of 26.5 mm.

Thats why I trying to get someone to measure what they have to be sure. The 27 maybe 27.5mm fit your .50 just nice and the loonie is a hair loose.

I have had good luck with Brooklyn Coin for supplies - that's not an endorsement just an observation after a few purchases - and they did respond to an email inquiry - here is a link

I purchase most all of my supplies from https://www.jpscorner.com/ I've been quite pleased with them over the years. I believe they also have a chart on their website. I can send you a quite detailed chart if you still need one.

I tried Wizard and it took over 5 weeks to receive my order.

Well it doesn't look like I can get any 2x2's from joewobbie site says my address and credit card do not match and cut me off, If I ship to Canada it's $46 shipping and then 40% more for exchange.
Wizard was next but when I put the order in they came back and said I don't have enough items in the cart, 4 orders of 100 2x2's and the 2023 Red Book. what do they want unreal.
Wish I could just drive to a US coin store. Closest one 4 hours away.
