I did when I was younger and still have those. I just put them in 2x2 flips. I think I might have had them in binder sheets at one time and may still have but I haven't looked in a while. Did dimes as well.

I also collect Canadian nickels and store them in 2x2s, 20 holder plastic pages (non-pvc) placed in a heavy duty 3 ring binder.
I use Staples Heavy Duty binders for most of my collection, including proof or specimen coins in Lighthouse quadrum coin holders.
Never had the urge/desire to purchase specific coin albums.

I have a small collection of Canadian pennies that I've built up from American penny rolls. For QE2 copper pennies, I'm just missing 1954 and 1955. I've also found some KG6's, but only one KG5 so far. The modern ones I just give to my daughters.

As far as nickels go, I think I've only found one pure nickel Canadian nickel; the rest are like their American counterparts.

I have a handful of them that I have acquired from change over the years. I keep them in a blank Dansco nickels page with a handful of other nickel sized non-US coins.

I have a few collections of them, many of which are from circulation. I like the old Whitman bookshelf albums for early Canadian, but they only go up until the mid-1960s. Lighthouse makes new albums for Canadian coins. Unfortunately neither of them are readily update-able - the bookshelf albums are bound, and I don't believe Lighthouse is making additional insert pages yet.

Of course, I have plenty of extras from searching, so I keep any nickel ones in tubes in one of those tube boxes (holds 50 rolls of 40 coins each). Organised by year where I have enough, organised by type otherwise (pre-50s). Newer CuNi and steel ones I try to get back up to Canada

Being in Atlanta, I might as well be in South America as we do not see much Canadian currency in change here....

Up north where I live, I see Canadian coins all the time, and I have a Whitman foldout book nearly full of the nickels 1922-1965, but just missing the key date 1925, and a few of the varieties in that book.

I wrap them up in rolls each time I get about 40 of them.
