    Thats a good way to keep your coins cool, is it styrofoam?

    These weren't actually storage boxes as much as they were shipping boxes.

    << <i>Did a steak come with the slabs? >>

    No just some meat and potato coins.



    << <i>Thats a good way to keep your coins cool, is it styrofoam? >>

    Yes it is styrofoam.



    << <i>Cica 1988. >>

    Thanks Njcc!

    Ugh. I hate styrofoam. Never mind the ecology of the matter and how it will kill the ozone layer and last forever; the little squiggly bits slough off and get everywhere. Yes, it can cushion coins for mailing, but so can the plastic boxes of today.

    Now, if they can just make the plastic boxes recycleable...

    That might be for people that keep their money in the freezer.

    For all this talk about "protect your coins from the hurricane!" I would say you've got it covered. The house may flood, but your coins will float off in their own little boat.

    that's the old "baker's dozen" shipping box.
