Does anyone know if they make 2x2 cardboard flips for sizes other than standard U.S. coins?

For example; I have a large collection of UK and Australia Large Pennies, I believe they are 31mm.

Too large for 30mm U.S. 1/2 dollar holder and too small for 38mm U.S. silver dollar holder.

I buy 31.5mm 2x2's for my Aussie pennies. You should be able to find them pretty easily on ebay or elsewhere.

Is that the correct size? or just the closest size available?

Thanks!

I have not found an exact size for many of the world coins. I just go with the closest size.

most of my coins are either in albums, or flips: 2x2 or 2.5x2.5
I have migrated away from folders and cardboard 2x2's

Here's a link to a 32.5mm 2x2 cardboard holder from a reliable supplies dealer that I have used multiple times.

Thanks for that link, I thought they were a little pricey @ $3.75 for only 25 plus ship. I also prefer the staple type to the self adhesive. So I dug a little deeper and found another supplier that carries the same 32.5 mm and other world coin sizes in packages of 100 for $7.95. Oh and I got lucky and found a coin dealer at a world show that sold me a extra package of 50 he had for $5. He confirmed these are imported and hard to find.

I thought I'd update this as a reference for anyone in the U.S. looking for these here's the link;
