I use 2x2's, albums, folders, coin tubes, coin envelopes, and even a jar for pre-1982 LMC's. In short, pretty much anything.

Most of my coins are in 2x2s that are kept in 14 D ring binders. The crown sized coins, proof sets etc are kept in a large Pelican case.

My collection lives in Dansco Albums, including a few of their "Coin Stock Books" (7000) for my miscellaneous 2x2's.

My hoards (Lincoln Cents and Jefferson nickels) are in tubes and boxes.
Rest in Peace

I have the usual Whitmans, one Dansco, another folder or two, and most of the rest in 2x2's, although the Romans are in flips. Those are mostly in plastic bags (along with some loose foreign coins) or in cardboard trays, some of which I cobbled up myself. And nearly all of those are in drawers which are not very well set up for a coin collection. I need to look ahead and decide where I'm going with this fun activity; then I need to start looking for a cabinet like Latman has. I do believe I've seen card files (from libraries) before at auctions - maybe I need to troll my own school district where I teach to see what they've discarded. Unfortunately, I don't have room for another cabinet, so something will have to go ... maybe my radio station coffee cup collection? lol

Oh Man it is SO fun to do that.

All you need is a brick of sequential notes, a thin piece of cardboard cut the same size as the notes and some elmers glue. Straighten em all up and rub the glue on one side of the notes (top is better I think)

When you go to spend em....you get to meet lots of store managers for some reason

I recall seeing someone using something like this at <ahem> a "club" I might have visited in my younger days...
