in my house they are known as 'Bxxxxx Coin Packets' or BCPs for short , as they seem to breed in dark corners.

I don't keep my coins in them as they are not meant for long term storage - they corrode the coins.

If you were close to Cardiff you could call round and have a thousand......

I was going to say make sure you store them somewhere dry and your coins must be the same it can even be worth popping the coin in the oven for 10 minutes just to make sure, the envelopes themselves won't corrode anything but they trap moisture and bronze disease loves them.

Some of the pockets can also be quite tight, ok putting coins in, but a bugger to get coins out.
