What's the best way to store coins that are in display cards?

I want to keep their packages intact too.

Lay them flat, in a box or something out of the sunlight so they don't fade.

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...

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!

Watch moisture, temperature, direct sun, etc. I usually put mine in page protectors made for the cards.

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.

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.

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...
