And (about) everything else:
Here's a virtual Dansco 7070 collection (showing some of the more common US type coins):






The coins are the same as in a real 7070 album, but the appearance and arrangement are different. The Dansco 7070 does not include some of the most modern types. Note that the 1964 half dollar slot is empty, to show what an empty slot looks like.
Some Morgan dollars, with (empty) GSA boxes behind:






Some US dollars, taken from circulation after WWII, mostly in California. I was present when the last of these (a Morgan), was taken from the Louisville KY, airport in late 1957 or early 1958 :





Closeups of the CC mintmarks on the GSA dollars (obtained directly from the GSA back in the early 1970s):





Some of the eagle designs used on the reverses of US coins over the years:

The above silver 5 Franc coins, nicknamed "écus d'argent". Side inscription "DIEU PROTEGE LA FRANCE" except on the Consulate and Bourbon Restoration issues. Pictured are 75 Francs, or the rough equivalent of 270€ today, around 1890.
