mestephil Valued Member United States 433 Posts	Posted 05/15/2023 01:02 am Does anybody know of a source, or link, where I can get square coin tubes for 28mm diameter coins. I am interested for storing Canadian toonies and 50 cent pieces, possibly. Thanks! Report this Post to the Staff

All the square coin tubes are US centric. Wizard I occasionally buy from, but I have checked Airtite, Lighthouse, etc. - Nada. I could use the US half dollar tube, but for a toonie, that is 2mm of rattling space, and a Canadian 50 cent piece, nearly 3mm. Report this Post to the Staff
Hondo Boguss Bedrock of the Community United States 15747 Posts	Posted 05/16/2023 12:52 am mestephil, why square? So that they stack better or nest more tightly in a storage container? Inordinately fascinated by bits of metal with strange markings and figures Report this Post to the Staff

Yes for storage, and that they don't roll all over the place. I like the durable material better than I've seen in the round tubes so far better. Report this Post to the Staff
Dearborn Moderator United States 64152 Posts	Posted 05/16/2023 3:08 pm I've searched all over, and I cannot even find a reference for 28 mm tubes of any type. Collecting since 1972.

Dearborn Moderator United States 64152 Posts	Posted 05/16/2023 9:40 pm I did a search of Canadian larger coins. here is what I found: 26.72mm - (Loonie 1987-1989) 29.72mm (50 cent) 28mm 2 dollars (Toonie) 36mm (Dollar) So it would look like only Toonies would fit a 28mm tube, you would need larger ones to other 50 cent an dollar coins.

Post-1967 Canadian 50 cent pieces are 27.13mm, so was looking for 28mm to cover toonies as well. I haven't gotten to older ones yet.... Report this Post to the Staff

Hondo Boguss Bedrock of the Community United States 15747 Posts	Posted 05/18/2023 10:23 pm mestephil and Dearborn, you are most welcome! Tomorrow I venture to Office Depot to peruse their decrepit selection of D-ring binders. Actually, they do have a "heavy duty" version, but it seems that the rings don't lock very tightly. As a result, when flipping through the pages, they will suddenly be released. Inordinately fascinated by bits of metal with strange markings and figures Report this Post to the Staff
mestephil Valued Member United States 433 Posts	Posted 05/19/2023 12:17 am Hi Hondo Boguss - Lots of luck on the binders. The weight of coins in the 3 ring binders makes it even worse. I am also a stamp collector, so I am rearranging the use of some Scott D-ring binders for pages holding 2x2 cards and I have to be careful. I also am using one Scott Specialty Album that is 3 ring with a 2.5 spine that I one bought accidentally. That one is fairly good but it gets really heavy due to the size and it is a fairly expensive binder. I am only using it as I have no good use for it in my stamp collection.
