Here I leave images of the process as I have sorted my collection

Sorry for not putting all the text in English, my English is very limited, but I'm sure will understand the process to place the images

Por un tema de costos decidi hace un año hacerme mis cartoncitos, aca en montevideo cuando averigue el costo de los cartoncitos me los ofrecian a 3  pesos uruguayos cada uno (unos 20 centavos de dolar), ahora descubri un tipo que los vende a 2 (muy caro igual) tengo 4500 monedas para ordenar, el costo a mi gusto era mucho. por eso los estos haciendo yo.

consegui laminas de cartulina de 1 mm de espesor (70cmx100cm) a 17 pesos uruguayos, menos de un dolar, de cada una saco 140 cartoncitos. el proceso por lamina me lleva una hora, desde que marco la lamina hasta que corto el ultimo cartoncito. el hacer las agujeros lleva mas tiempo, para eso uso un cuter circular luego les paso fotos de esta etapa


marcado de la cartulina (uso una viga de aluminio que mide 5cm de lado, eso me ahorra mucho tiempo




Pliego la cartulina para marcar bien los cortes


lineas de corte horizontales y verticales


corto la lamina en pedasos mas faciles de manejar


esta estapa me resulta mas facil con tijera que con cuter


resultado final


materiales de uso


en la foto se ve el cartoncito para la moneda, un cuadrado de cartulina que uso como referencia para colcar el punto central para el cuter y no estar haciendo medidas cada vez


junto el cartoncito plegado mas el cuadrado con la perforacion y paso la punta del compas para marcar el punto central para luego hacer el corte


como queda el punto en el carton


los cortes hechos


un poco de cola vinilica que dasparramo con el dedo


colocando la lamina plastica (compre un tipo de bolsa gruesita para eso)


la moneda ubicada


Listo el pollo !!!! el cartoncito queda pegado con lo que coloque de cola.


saque otra foto porque la anterior entre movida y el reflejo parecia manchada la moneda




Estos son los tres cajones (comprados en una feria) en los que tengo ordenados los cartoncitos que hago para las monedas.




Cada cartoncito esta numerado segun el ingreso en mi lista de coleccion en un archivo Excel, lo que hace facil su busqueda



Cada hilera esta separada por una lamina de acrilico que me consigio un amigo




En cada cajon me entran unas 1275 monedas, estoy en la etapa de diseño de un mueble exclusivo para las monedas en el que cada cajon guardaria solo 1000
 


Sacrifique un espacio en mi armario para colocar los cajones, por eso es que quiero hacer un mueble para las monedas.



Las diviciones numeradas las hice con las terjetas donde venian los chips para celulares (creo que por la empresa se nota que los tengo hace rato guardaditos, no?)






bye bye ;)

That's really good work, really good on the home-made flips.  But is that glue safe for use round the coins?

This is the kind of collection I would like to buy off some old lady as a bulk lot  

  Well organized!

Never in a million years for me, on the Arts & Crafts holders.

Does the paper craft hobby leave you room or time for the coins?

I think I already know the answer to the glue question. Not near my coins.

Yes, the glue is far from coins,

It
 looks like great work and really pleasing to the eye.
But I would be too afraid of any toxins that can "evaporate" from glue
in years to come to use this technique myself. I stick to non-pvc ziplock
bags.

Is the paper archival paper?
Otherwise, problem!

The amount of time you have spent on these is impressive, and its a very neat and tidy system!

I'm curious - How much does each flip cost, vs the time spent? I know it will definitely be cheaper than buying cheap flips, but how much time does it take?

Of course, if you enjoy making the flips, the question is largely irrelevant, but I'm curious never the less!

each cost me less than "0,2" cents of dollar , making nearly 4000 took me about two years, dedicating a few minutes per day after study and work. I found it a very economical system, and have used it as "anti stress therapy"

Where'd you get the little circular cutter? I've never seen them before.

Cutter buy it in a stationery (store school supplies for students) is the most important part to make this work, because it allows cuts are neat, is not an expensive ítem

Cool thing, would be handy for nice swap packing. Like my first swap, he packaged them in cardboard that was perfectly cut out. I still use that packaging for those coins!

That's if you value your time at zero. I am surprised. I guess the therapy cost is right. If it works, it works.

Everyone collects differently, some people like sorting, some people like making their collection pretty, some guys like to swap, this guy enjoys making the storage.

I like sorting but making the holders and boxes is something I'd really get into as well.

You know what I really like about this system?  You can take care of any size coin.  The thing that annoys the hell out of me is when you get a coin that doesn't fit into the standard sized flips.  It's in between two of the standard sizes or too small for the smallest size (Canadian silver 5 cent coins, I'm looking at you) but making your own you can cut the hole to fit your coin perfectly.

that's true, the fit is consistent with the currency

Wow, you're doing a great job! But how do you fold that piece of carboard in those perfectly shaped squares? Is it already folded or is there some sort of technique recuired? And how do you cut those rounds with that thing? I only see a pin and not a blade or some sort. And how do you seal those flips? Do you use some sort of plastic that's able to let the glue through or some sort? Please tell me!

You can see in the first few pictures that he marks it out into squares and scores it with a cutter, that way you can get the perfect fold.

Very nice. I am big fun of organized collections like this one. I believe that is really important that the collection is neat and presentable. I am currently working on my big project. I started about 2 months ago and am about 25% done. When I finish I wil share the photos too.

I think this is some really amazing organization and dedication... I love it!

Wow this is really great, but makes too much time in my mind!

Otherwise, your collection seems to be well-organized, I think this is very important just for eyes' pleasure!  

Great job DarthVader

Since I'm afraid the plastic may damage the coins over time, you might be able to staple a square of mylar/polyester film from the inside, while still giving some space for info or an index number. Other than that, these look fantastic!

I am amazed Photobucket still exists.

Looks great!! I dread to think how long it must have taken you
