It might have been a topic earlier, sorry then...
I have just spent about a full day sorting out coins for swaps, reviewing 100 coin to find one which the swap partner needed, browsing through shoe boxes and envelopes...
... and my home-office looks like a bombarded coinshop in 1945,
... indeed I am not sure, I might even have a dead Russian soldier under some of the piles
Do you have any best practices or structures to keep them organized and handy. (My collection is neat, but I cannot apply the same principles here)
Coins for swap in a small bag, the bags in a... in a... oops, I don't know the name but look at the pic and you will know what I mean . You will find it in every gardener shop.

It's called a seed germination tray
remember i for i coins
swap list under reconstruction!
I use this! Bought for £2 at a boot fair originally from Ikea! I then have plastic zip lock bags that are named.
I also have storage for other coins like this!
My parents gave my son a 24 compartment plastic tackle box to store his little toys in. We recently got them some plastic drawers that he now stores them in so he gave me the tackle box, it's perfect for storing my swaps and coins waiting to go into my folders. The compartments are the same size as a 2x2 flip.
Most of my swap coins are sorted by year. 1971-2013 each are in a separate plastic bag. 1941-1970 are doubled up two per bag. One bag for 1936-1940, and one bag for pre-1936. Coins without western dates (Japan, Thailand, Israel, etc.) are in their own bags by country.
I have over 10,000 coins for swap, and it takes me a long time to find all the coins for large swaps.
Though I do want to get another of the first bin. The drawers work better than the other system.
(The pics aren't mine, but I have the same containers.)
"What we are is not as important as what we aren't"
Yeap, I got those "fishing gear" boxes (7 of them) but the incoming new doubles hinders me to the right precise thing, so I always end up opening a shoebox (thanks to the wife I have a lot them ) for Slovenia 2 kilos and others, but somehow I got lost at the end anyways...

Looks like the products I have seen made by Raaco ...
