My "collection" (stuff that I am hunting for) goes in albums, safe, and other housing of reliable sorts, while my (low grade) so-called "accumulation" just goes in boxes or on the accumulation shelf  . |

Small "zip lock" bags 2x2.5 for multiples of any given variety otherwise small 1x1 envelopes for "keepers. Bulk coins
(copper,canadian,other foreign) go into larger 3x5 "zip lock" bags, these go where ever I can find space.

2x2 albums to fill slots, the more valuable ones go into my safe. I keep an error jar with interesting but not valuable coins to give to my son or his friends.

I like to fill the holes in my Dansco albums.
Coins that do not fit those holes go into 2x2 holders, which are also stored in Dansco albums (with 12 pocket 2x2 pages).

I have one Dansco album at the moment so some stuff goes in there. Most stuff goes in 2x2's and labeled. Those 2x2's go either in my binder or in boxes. Countries from A-E go in the binders Everything F-Z goes into the "over flow" boxes. Some of the larger coins go in Crown size flips, others go in Airtite holders. Airtite holders go in a plastic tub I got specifically for them.

All of my coins and paper money are stored in an antique commode. Some are in capsules, some in flips in a box. I also have an uncut sheet of 2 dollar bills, framed, and two sets of birthday coins (wife and I), also framed, on the wall besides the commode.

For me it's all but the window sill. The cat kept knocking them down and playing with them. |

All of my 1908 to 1967 Canadian circulation coins ($1, $0.50, $0.25, $0.10 and $0.01) are protected in 2X2 Square coin capsules. Boxed and placed in a safe. My 48's are at the vault. My 1918's and 1945's are displayed on the wall in my office.
