basicbob101 Pillar of the Community United States 819 Posts	Posted 02/20/2009 10:38 am for years my only system was putting pocket finds in another pocket and hoping I remembered them, then my wife found these at pharmacy. Pill pouches for carrying pills with you, even have a place to record info. Now I put pocket finds in them and don't worry about loosing track of them, also great for putting roll search finds in for later follow-up. She found a bag of 100 of these at a discount of 50 cents. And they are reusable!especially if not written on but even if. nice little zip-lock bag Image: pillpouch.jpg 16.24 KB Edited by basicbob101 02/20/2009 10:43 am Report this Post to the Staff

just carl Bedrock of the Community United States 20753 Posts	Posted 02/20/2009 3:44 pm I carry a wallet. There are pockets for credit cards and/or photos. If and when I find or acquire a coin I just push it into one of those slots. Nothing extra to later find in the washing machine. Report this Post to the Staff
penny pincher Valued Member United States 429 Posts	Posted 02/22/2009 9:38 pm Another thing you may want to consider is an empty pill container (for short term purposes only) that you could leave in the car at all times. I find that by doing this that I do not forget about them, get them banged up or put into the change pile at the end of the day by accident. Report this Post to the Staff

Sap Moderator Australia 16806 Posts	Posted 02/23/2009 01:39 am I've got a terrible memory. When I find a coin in circulation that I want to keep, I need to take drastic measures so that it (a) stays separate from my spending money, and (b) I remember it when I get home, so it doesn't get forgotten, or go through the wash, or something. I've got one of those "Star Trek style" clamshell mobile phones. I put the coin inside and close it up, gently - and hope it doesn't dial China for me when I put it back in my pocket. Don't say "infinitely" when you mean "very"; otherwise, you'll have no word left when you want to talk about something really infinite. - C. S. Lewis Report this Post to the Staff
malissadawn Pillar of the Community Canada 1931 Posts	Posted 02/23/2009 02:13 am I use kind of the same idea as well. I went to a staples business supply store and bought a box of coin envelopes. I carry a bunch in the front pocket of my purse just in case. I used to try the in a pocket by itself idea too. But on the days I got lucky and got more than one interesting coin at once I had the problem of finding someway to get them in there but not let them touch. Also, at arts and crafts stores in the bead section they sell the same kind of zip lock bags but very small ones to basically just fit a coin. You get maybe 200 for 2 or 3 dollars. I like those as well. Report this Post to the Staff

soldier4Christ Valued Member United States 419 Posts	Posted 02/23/2009 9:25 pm I bought a small pill case to keep in my pocket today. Perfect size and keeps my wife from recirculating my pocket finds! Report this Post to the Staff
