It seems to me that in your case, air tight capsules could be the way to go

Over the last 15+ years I have experimented with storing stamps on & off paper in our climate. To make bulk stamps air tight for 3 to 5 years makes them smell really fowl.
Selica Gel works but if you miss a drying time for the gel you end up in a worse position than leaving the stamps in the open elements.
There is one room in my house that the humidity does not affect. It has very little air flow, cooks in the western sun & the windows are covered in with ply wood. It is my UV long wave light room. Because of the no air flow it is not good to store stamps in but it just might be the air tight, type of room I need & to use an air tight plastic might be to go for me.
But sel_69l comment worries me when it comes to the plastic tub. But if I use the right album inside the unknown (what is made) of plastic tub it might not be a worry.

The other alternative is to consider archival quality NON PVC (polypropylene) album pages, with the coins in Mylar / cardboard flips. This strategy has worked well for me.
PVC album pages are definitely "out" for you.
