$5 "Gold Coin" given to wife in change! She asks "Is it worth anything?"

Do you use the “Duo-Horizontal” or “Duo-45 Degree” the “Quad-Parallel” or even the “Quad 45 Degree” or the expert level “Tri-Secure” method for securing your 2X2 cardboard flips as opposed to any other method?

Also, what tool do you use to flatten the staples on the back of the 2X2’s, or do you just leave them as is?

What are the best staples to use and what is the best brand of stapler on the market today?

(I use a SAFINA No. 121 with Swingline # 79350 Standard Staples, 210 per strip, 5,000 count)





Let me be the first to say "Happy Halloween"

Edited: Ya'll really think I was serious about all this, well, did ya? October 31 is the time to pull pranks.

I love this board because it constantly reassures me I'm not the biggest time-wasting fool around.

I use regular staples with the "Careful hammer" to flatten.

I do a tri-parallel. Just like your quad picture, but I don't staple the edge with the fold.

The quad 45 degree would scare me - if a staple bends the wrong way - it's headed straight for coin.

I use the quad parallel and then I take the back side of a fat magic marker to flatten out the staples

I use one of those MAX flat-cinch staplers -- it is great!! I like it so much, I staple everything with it now.

I use saflips and I'd be damned if I put staples anywhere near my coins, and there's no way in hell I'd store a coin in a 2x2 with loose cardboard flecks all over the place.

You forgot the quad 45-and-90-degree rotation.

I use the red Swingline stapler because it doesn't bind up as much.

I use the quad paraellel. With this handy dandy little tool I can staple stacks of 10 flips at 1 time. saves time on those huge collections.

Do those come with electrical connections, my wife will not allow me to have the compressor in the house, sez it messes the place up, that and I keep tripping over that coiled up hose.

Would that pattern be for "South Paws" lefties?

I have no clue to what you are referring so I must conclude that I was tricked (& treated). . .
