When I was purchasing the foam ring insert type Airtites to house my coins I found that the sizes stated were all for US coins. They are only available to buy from America so this is understandable. I am in Australia and wanted to store my coins in these Airtite coin capsules so I had to do some research to determine which sizes fit best for Aussie coins. These are the results of my study:
- Halfpenny -T 25
- Penny -H 30
- Threepence- A 16
- Sixpence- A 19
- Shilling -T 23
- Florin -H 28
- Crown- I 38
- One cent- A 17
- Two cent -T 21
- 5c -A 19
- 10c -T 23
- 20c- H 28
- 50c -H 31
- $1 -T 24
- $2 -T 20
For the majority I found that for the size of the coin in mm, you needed half to 1mm less for the size of the foam ring insert to hold the coin snugly.
