Make sure to store your coins in material that do NOT have that "plastic smell". That smell means that the plastic is giving off fumes that could harm your coins.
As you may know, one of the biggest factors for safe coin storage is to avoid PVC plastic, or anything giving off that 'plastic smell'. I've heard horror stories from people who have opened coin collections that have been in storage for years, only to find gunk on the coins from the plastic, or that the coins have just been completely discoloured. This usually happens because they were stored with a material that damaged the coins. (Temperature and moisture can have an impact too).
We all love to get a bargain, but when it comes to storing your coins, taking a cheap option for coin storage could prove disastrous down the track. It's worth getting better quality products, if you want to make sure your coins are protected for the long term.
Thankfully, there are several products available these days that use stable materials such as acrylic or Mylar, for example SAFLIPs and Coretek. These are the materials that museum experts and archivists recommend for storing rare coins and metal pieces!
In addition to the coin flips holding your coins, you need sleeves to hold them, and the material that these are made from is just as important at the coin flips. I use BCW-branded sleeves, as these are made from Polypropylene which is also PVC-free
To help make it easy to store your coins safely, we have put together a new coin collecting album for Australian Coins with carefully chosen components that keep your coins safe whilst also making them easy to look at and enjoy:

In addition to storing your coins safely, you still need to be able to easily take them out and appreciate them, so we have sourced special archive-quality folders to store your coin sleeves in (PVC-free, of course). It features a wrap-around lid that closes fully to also protect your collection from dust.
One of the key parts of this kit is the pre-printed inserts with details of all Australian coins in circulation that feature special designs. We've created 250 individual coin inserts that slide into your coin flips opposite each coin. These make it easy to keep track of your collection. It also includes blank inserts on which you can write details about your other coins (for example error/variety coins).
If you already have a folder where you store your coins, we also have refill packs available that include the coin sleeves, coin flips and 200 blank coin information inserts:

This system including the hardware & labels is something I’ve been looking for. I’ll definitely buy one once I put some money aside. Thanks for creating this.

@mattivational_inc. Thank you for the great feedback!

This is a great system. Flips suit all coin sizes so unlike 2x2's you don't need to keep a whole lot of different sizes on hand. And no plastic damage! 👍

[@AustraliaCoins]

@peecee1384 yes exactly, you can add other cardboard 2x2's into the sleeves, but these 2x2 will fit any size Australian coins.

How many folks have acually bought these ? How many sold to date ? Cant find feedback anywhere. Thanks

Is this kit primarily to be stored flat or upright? I find that the weight of 50c pieces in a folder stored upright causes the page inserts to stretch and tear away from the ring binder.

[@AustraliaCoins]

That's a great question! It's designed to work both lying down (ie stacked on top of each other) or standing up (like a book). As you say the weight of fifty cent coins can pull the sleeves so it's safer to stack. The good things with these folders is that they are rigid boxes, so they are easily stacked.

Is there a way to get the inserts without having to buy a full kit?

[@AustraliaCoins]

@Mullet345 thank you - we’re working on that and will let you know. 👍
