what should I put my ATB's in? Right now, I have them in a map, but I'm worried about toning/exposure to elements.

The maps are cool and interesting, but are not any good at protecting the coins. I would say do both. Put the nicer coins in the album.

I put mine in an album. I got the Whitman Classic cause it was on sale. I wish I would have gotten the Dansco because my Dansco Cent album is a lot higher of quality. It isn't even close. I am sure I will end up switching albums :/

I would put better coins in an album and maybe use the map for circulation finds.

The maps are awkward, bulky and difficult to store. I'd bet by 2150, most will have been discarded. If you can figure out a way to get 5 generations of your progeny to keep it in good condition, it may be worth more than the coins themselves.

Yes, maps are fun, but albums are better for the long term.
