<h1>{{ .T "Coin Storage" }}</h1>
</header>
<main>
<p>
{{ .T `
There are many different methods of storing your collecting,
each with their own benefits and drawbacks. This page will
describe the most common methods collectors use to store
their coins, as well as the pros and cons of each method.
` }}
</p>
<h2>{{ .T "Coin Albums" }}</h2>
<p>
{{ .T `
Coin albums are one of the most popular ways of storing
coins. In a coin album you will have multiple coin sheets.
These sheets are plastic pages with slots that you can put
your coin in to keep them protected. When searching for
sheets for your album it is very important to ensure that
they do not contain any PVC, which will damage your coins.
Some albums will come with sheets already included.
` }}
</p>
<p>
{{ .T `
Albums can be an affordable way to store your coins, but
higher-end albums can be a bit expensive. Also remember
to always ensure that your albums do not contain any PVC!
` }}
</p>
<h2>{{ .T "Coin Boxes" }}</h2>
<p>
{{ .T `
Coin boxes are to many people the most aesthetic way to store
your coins. A coin box is comprised of various layers which
can be stacked ontop of each other. Each layer has various
holes where you can insert your coins. Typically you are
meant to store your coins in a layer encased in a coin
capsule.
` }}
</p>
<p>
{{ .T `
Boxes are quite space-inefficient and are one of the most
expensive ways to store your coins, but at the same time they
offer a great visual appeal.
` }}
</p>
<h2>{{ .T "Coin Capsules" }}</h2>
<p>
{{ .T `
Coin capsules are plastic capsules you can put your coin in.
They offer good protection to your coins, while still
allowing you to view all parts of your coin easily, including
the edge engravings and -inscriptions. Capsules are also far
more durable than flips, and can be opened and closed
repeatedly allowing for them to be reused. This isn’t really
possible with flips.
` }}
</p>
<p>
{{ .T `
Capsules can be a bit pricey, but are reusable and are very
durable. They also come in different sizes, so make sure you
get the right size for your coins.
` }}
</p>
<h2>{{ .T "Coin Flips" }}</h2>
<p>
{{ .T `
Coin flips, also known as ‘2x2’ flips by some Americans are
small cardboard flips with a plastic covered hole in the
middle for viewing. Most coin flips are stapled, meaning you
put your coin in the flip and staple it shut. These kinds of
flips are very cheap, and you can buy stacks of a few hundred
for only a few euros. If you don’t like the staples though,
you can also buy adhesive-flips that glue themselves shut.
These flips are more expensive, but also look better than
their stapled equivalents.
` }}
</p>
<p>
{{ .T `
Coin slips are also pretty space efficient, and can be easily
stacked in boxes for compact storage. Many collectors also
like to write notes about their coins on the flips. There
also exist special sheets for coin albums that allow you to
put in flipped coins, but this is more expensive and less
space-efficient than simply using flips or an album without
flips.
` }}
</p>
<h2>{{ .T "Coin Rolls" }}</h2>
<p>
{{ .T `
This is probably the most inexpensive way to store your
coins. If you take good care of the paper when opening your
coin rolls, you can simply reuse them for storage. Just roll
your coins back up and put some rubber bands on the ends.
You can also get reusable plastic rolls that can be opened
and closed. You will need different rolls based on the
denomination you want to store, but they are very
space-efficient.
` }}
</p>
<h2>{{ .T "Examples" }}</h2>
<p>
{{ .T `
In case you’re looking for some inspiration on how to store
your collections, here are some examples.
