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.  |

Try Eccles in Aukland.
Ph no. 049 373 2320.

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.  |
