pennrj430 Valued Member United States 132 Posts	Posted 04/07/2010 6:23 pm Hi everyone, I hear a lot of collectors on here say that they put there coins, binders and books in Ziplock to avoid moisture and air. I'm sure it's been looked into, but does Ziplock contain PVC? Also, If I'm putting my coins into 2X2's and putting them into plastic sheets that are PVC free, does it matter much what the binders are made of that I'm putting the sheets into? Are there binder brands I should look into? Thanks everyone. Report this Post to the Staff

KenKat Pillar of the Community United States 4085 Posts	Posted 04/07/2010 6:47 pm Ziploc bags are made of polypropelene, sometimes abbreviated as PP on recycle symbols. Generally considered safe for coins. My 7070 US Type Set My 7100 Lincoln Cent Set (now with updates!) Report this Post to the Staff
