How do you do yours? Do you put yours all together by date with regular and commemorative issues? Or perhaps keep the commemorative's separate from the regular issues? I know there is no right or wrong way, I just want to know how you do yours. Thanks!

I put mine together.The Regular first with any commemoratives next.I leave a hole for ones that I don't have so I can keep track of the ones that I need.

I had my toonie collection in a binder for awhile but for something different I changed to this: http://www.cdncoin.com/product-p/4004117373688.htmI'm very happy with it. Everything together, filed in accordance to year, individually labelled, circulation mostly in 2x2s and collector toonies in quadrum holders. The case takes very little room to store, it's easy to add or replace coins, or to take them out to lay on a table to appreciate the visual effect. I also keep a master "inventory" list that includes additional details, for example source, cost and purchase date as well. Edited by wildflowerAB

Years. That includes proofs and I try to keep them in the order they were released to the best of my knowledge.

I organize mine by year, regular & commemortive together. They're in 2x2s stored in a single row coin box. I do the same with Loonies except they're mostly in capsules and I plan to do likewise with the Toonies.

In a coffee mug on my nightstand (with all the other spare change) or in the ashtray of my truck.
Sorry, but I dont collect modern coinage. Which is funny because an off metal twoonie that I received in change is what got me started in collecting (and CCF)
If I did collect them I would have them in 2x2s or saflips, in zip binders, organized by year followed by KM# just like my colonial tokens and world OFEC.

I file mine by years in an album but cannot decide which side to show to the front. With my nickels and quarters I show the beaver and caribou, but with toonies, the queen side often, has the date, not the polar bear side, and I like the dates to show!

What I think I'm gonna do is keep the commemorative toonies separate. This will also apply to quarters since there are so many of them! However I will leave some commemorative's with the regular issues like Nunavut for example.

I have started using the Lighthouse series of books, I really like them, but the 'bang for the buck' is absolutely miserable when it comes to the toonie book;
it has three pages included even though they sell at the same retail price as other books with twice as many pages.
not to mention they have spots for non-circulation issues...
Which makes your pages appear incomplete...
But I have found one non-circulation issue in roll searching so far!

I collect toonies because they're a large denomination & size. There are varieties in the series, but not an overboard number. The designs are usually well done.
As for storage, I keep a few of each type organized chronologically by release date. These I have in 2 x 2s in a box. My error/variety toonies are in 2 x 2s in a binder. I also have some toonies in a binder as part of a collection of world coins that have latent image security features.
