My son is 5 and because I travel the world a lot, I bring him back circulated coins from all the countries I visit. I'd like to stick them in a binder for him so he can look at them more easily.

These coins are not valuable but matter to him and I wouldn't want to get PVC damage. But I also don't want to stick them all in flips (he likes to be able to pull them out and play with them sometimes, plus it makes the binders very thick). So here's the question:

Do we know of any pages with the flaps (like this) that we are fairly certain are safe?

Or should I not be worried about PVC damage because it takes a long time and can be cleaned?

Thanks so much! I thought I was in the right place, since it said "storing coins".

Well, there are plenty of good reviews for that product and it is advertised as acid-free, which should be safe for coins.

Heck, it's worth a shot since you said these are coins from circulation.

Love that you are introducing coins to your young son. Mine loves top dump out a couple of baggies in which I store some well-traveled world coins and play with them.

I'm sure those pages would be fine.

Those pages would work, as the others have said, but putting a thin carboard or card stock between the pages will go further to keep the coins in different paged from banging together and damaging them.

I predict that unless you shop for decades old re-used supplies you'd have a very difficult time securing PVC laden supplies.

Yes, good point! It could have stayed, but this forum focuses on the supplies used to store them so I hope it will get more attention.

Thanks so much for all the help, folks - I'm ordering some today! @CelticKnot, we basically have the baggie system today - this is my upgrade attempt. *grins*
