I have, alas, developed an expensive habit, namely self-adhesive coin flips. Much better for writing on and no pesky staples. However, where I live (New Zealand) they are costly and the only importer I know has put his prices up again due, I expect, to our declining exchange rate.
Does anyone know an affordable supplier of these in NZ/Australia? Or an international supplier with good postal rates?
While I'm here, any tips on the best brand? I've tried the Lighthouse ones (German?) and the Importa (Dutch?) brands so far. Many thanks.

Can you give an indication as to what costly is in NZ?

As an aside, I prefer NOT to trust self-adhesive 2x2's.
I don't know the chemical characteristics of the adhesive.

I prefer stapled flips.
They can be re used.

Failing Eccles try John Bertrand.

I prefer Mylar flips myself, coins can be removed and room for a large card of your own creation.

Thanks all for the responses. @kanga, good point about the adhesive. @coaster, here they cost me NZ$12 / AS11.50 for a packet of 25 (that's US$7.50 for US members). So the flips are worth more than some of my coins

50 cents for any container is too expensive for a coin except a capsule.

You should be able to get cardboard flips for about 20 - 25 cents. My archive flips cost $19 plus postage and papackaging per 100.

Sel - No New Zealand number starts with 049, I think you mean 029.

I got the country code for NZ mixed up with the local Aukland area code.
