Kointain Holders in Dansco Albums?

My wife recently bought a raw uncirculated Mercury Dime in a 2X2. We opened up the 2X2 and it was in a little bitty plastic holder that you could barely see. We didn't even know it was there until we opened the 2X2. I believe this is a Kointain holder which I read about before. I really like this. I've seen airtites before, but never seen a Kointain holder before. Well anyways, I did a search on them and one site selling them said that you can use them in slide type albums provided you use the next size up album and the gave the example of using a dime in a Kointain in an album designed for cents.
This sounds like a really good idea if someone wanted to use a Dansco album for nice uncirculated coins or Proofs because then you wouldn't have to qorry about the plastic slides scratching the coin. I bet you wouldn't even be able to tell they were in Kointain holders in the album. I believe that you can order unlabeled pages too so you wouldn't have to put a dime in a slot labeled 1909 VDB or anything. Anybody ever try this? Would any other coins besides dimes work (i.e. would a nickel work in a quarter album)?Thanks, in advance, for any replies.

I was gonna say that thickness might be a problem, but I was thinkin' AirTites, not Kointains, I guess. Kointains are those really close-fitting little clear plastic "shells", right? That might work.
