Bag Failure

[newton7]

When I started getting heavy in the sorting I bought a Ryedale and decided bags was the best way for me to go. Everyone is the same size, they all get the same count of coins and I can stack them like the US Mint does several layers high and keep an accurate count if needed. Time to sell, I can dish it out a bag at a time.

Then came the unexpected move and I discovered that this brand of bag started to fail at the red tape seams. I have had to replace half of my bags with true "Coin Lock" brand bags.

Just a FYI if your thinking of using bags. I got these from Bankers General Suppy and they were sold as "Coin Lock" bags but I think they use that as a general term to describe the item and not the brand.

Heads up everybody!

Recommend that you get bags rated as qualified for use by the Federal Reserve. (That regardless of what we may think of their policies.)

I moved my hoard into bags, for the same reasons you listed almost exactly. I opted for the "Fort Knox" brand from bank supplies . com and they have treated me very well. I stack them 10 bags high and they make the hoard look pretty neat.
