How can I store cent rolls? Is there a special tube? They don't fit in any normal tubes, including nickel rolls.

Assuming you mean paper wrapped cent rolls, I have purchased small plastic containers that hold about 20 rolls that have worked well. They're usually only a buck or two.

Do you have OBW rolls? If not then square plastic cent tubes are best for long term storage.

I have rolls of small cents I rolled up in 1974 composed of coins no older than that year. I put them in a metal Coleman cooler with a small bag of zeolite A3 to act as a desiccant. Desiccant is cheaper and easier to get these days in larger quantities.

There's a roll of every year in there, even the key date years.

Some empty medicine tubes can hold cent rolls. Especially if you have a whole bunch of them. This is sad if you do have enough like I do.

There is little need to put these paper rolls in plastic tubes then.

I'd buy small containers that hold 20-30 rolls at a time.

There is a guy on here that sells titanium tubes. That may work for you.

Places like this....
(you can get specific coin tubes for specific coins....Cent tubes for Cents.....Nickel tubes for Nickels...so on and so forth)
Click this link:
http://www.wizardcoinsupply.com/

There are lots of sites on the Internet that sell stuff like this.....this is a popular one here on CCF that is recommended often.

Or any "hobby store" that has coin stuff....like Hobby Lobby. Local Coin shops too.

My OBW cent rolls are stored in screw cap nickel tubes, the cap will not tighten down all the way but it will stay in place. A slip cap may not stay on snugly though.
