Poll: How many coin albums do you have?

Or, if you don't put coins in albums, count them up by the series you collect.
Why am I running this poll? I counted the number of Dansco albums I had and was a little surprised that the number is 18. That seems like a lot to me, but then I don't really know and figured that this might make an interesting poll. I guess this last year has represented quite an expansion for me, thanks to this forum.
Note...i've got a '7070' US Type album...the two Washington State Quarter albums...the basic Washington quarter album. Counting like this, it's easy to see how you could arrive at a large number. So, if you collect 'quarters', realize that some folks will count that multiple times as this really is multiple albums!
I guess one reason my count is so high is that I recently got a bunch of mint sets and put them into a series of 'Modern Stuff' albums. Sacs, Ikes, Kennedies, etc...
In the Dansco series, and Whitman too, I believe, lincoln cents are counted as two...memorial cents and wheat cents...so don't count yourself short if you collect both!
Also, in the Dansco series, the set of Morgan dollars counts as two, as it generally comes in two albums.
This is somewhat of a flawed question, as someone who has boxes upon boxes of cool error coins might just answer '1' as they say "I collect errors". This question would work best if every collection was similar; which is not the case, so I guess we'll have to consider the answers in that context.

None are even close to being filled. I only get a couple sets a year to fill in holes.
