Not sure though of what type is being mentioned though. I've always found if you use the exact size flip for a coin, they just don't move at all.
In my experience, that is correct. I have no problem with cents in cent holders, nickels in nickel holders, etc. Even a nickel in a quarter holder, or a quarter in half holder is okay.

I should have mentioned that my problems have always been with my dark side coins. Especially the ones that are a size between the normal US sizes and thin (like a dime or thinner).

This is one reason why I have been planning a new project for my dark side coins. I want to move them to Dansco millimeter pages. They are already in Dansco albums with 12-pocket 2x2 pages; I just want to move them to the normal rigid pages with the slides.

Yes, right sized works best. But, when I put a dime in a cent holder, I always put 4 staples in. I don't buy dime size 2x2s.

Wow 200 flips for $40. Thats expensive. I have about 5000 coins in flips. At that price they would cost me over $1,000. Where I live my local coin dealer sells the flips for $2.50 per 100. The quality is good.

I don't know where this came from, but while reading this thread I had a wacky idea...

I wonder what plastic material is used with vacuum sealers and if it's safe for coins. If one is extremely concerned about being air tight and has a big volume of coins to make airtight, possibly you could just lay 20 coins down on some vacuum sealer plastic and seal them up while leaving enough room between each coin for a full seal. Then cut out each coin as you would with a US mint set in the cellophane (just much more air tight) and put them in binders for display. It'd be ugly, it'd be non-standard, it'd probably/maybe eat your coins over the years, but it'd be air tight and cheap!
