Your Opinion Would Be Appreciated

I usually buy 2 that way I keep one in the card in a 3 or 4 note banknote page, the other I take out, put it into a 2X2 and add it to my album.

You could do the same but add it to the Dansco Album, it just costs twice as much to collect this way.

Oh well ya can't take it with ya!

the way bm1947 does it is exactly the way I do it for American coins. I usually buy several of them an break one apart for my set. I am very methodical and i have to have the album to display them.

I took all my Commonwealth games 50c out of their plastic capsules which in turn are housed in the card.  I put them all in 2x2s.  The cards I stacked side by side in a seperate box. I did the same with plastic capsules (although they don't stack well  ).  I bought 20 of each which is my usual habit.

There was a special album designed for this set.
so mine is in the special album in the Mint cards
It is a nice piece for showing.

I use it with each youth & scout group I visit with.

Richard,

Any idea how I might see what the special album looks like, and then buy one if I like it?

I haven't tried it with the 50 cent coins yet, but I've just started putting together a $1 album for my nephew. I have my collection in a Dansco album, so had to take the coins out of the capsule, but for my nephew's album, I'm using the 2x2s. With the $1 coins that have come in capsules, I have been removing the clear film from the 2x2 and just popping the capsule in. It does make the pages a little more bulky, but so far, seems to be working well. ............ Just tried it with the 50 cent capsules ...... a tight fit, but it works.
