coin flips, available at coin shops. Shadow boxes. etc. Use your imagination. It isnt really expensive.

Yeah, pill bottles are good, coin flip 2x2s are good... even a bank deposit bag.

Got these from WalMart in the craft section and they work great. Each container has individual screw off caps. They are less than $8 and they store nicely.

Hey,

That's pretty snazzy. Thanks for the info. Looks good.

Have you tried placing cotton balls in the compartments so they don't shake around loosely?

You can use just about anything as long as it won't corrode the coins. Howard

I have an old jewelry box that everything goes into. A place for everything and everything in its place. It really helps for if I find jewelry. xD

I use a screw/nut & bolt cabinet. Like what they have at the hardware store that sorts thier nuts, bolts, washers. I'm not sure what the real name of it is. But it's about 2' high, 1' wide and about 1' deep. It has 36 individual drawers in it and it looks good and you can put a label on each drawer.
I hope you all know what I mean.

Sorry I could not be more percise.
Thanks for your time.
Regards
Dishhead

Default Tackle box

I bought a tackle box for 5 at a yard sale. Been storing all the clad and othere relics in it. Also makes a handy storage area for the small digging tools and cleaning equipment
