Coin storage question

Hello everyone!  My name is Clark, and I'm new to this site.  I've enjoyed uploading my collection (some of it at least) onto this site, and conducting a few swaps, and now I'm ready to be social.

First, as an introduction to my question, I live in the American South (not the most cosmopolitan place, but I love it), and collect world coins -- specifically the coins of Germany and Austria, as well as most pre-1945 world coins.  I do not at all collect American coins, or Mexican coins, or Canadian coins, which -- together  -- comprise about 95% of what I see in coin shops.

I'm usually the guy hunkered over the "mixed foreign coins" cigar box/tin/jar, frantically searching for copper German States pieces, notgeld, weimar rentenpfennigs, and anything that seems crazy or interesting.

That being said, I store my world coins in cardboard 2x2's, kept in binders using 2x2 pages.  I've begun to become ashamed of this, with a surprising number of valuable silver coins from the 19th century sitting in what seem to be the lowest-rent form of coin storage.

So the question I have for anyone who is interested in responding is -- is there anything out there other than 2x2's and mylar/low-pvc flips in which I should be storing my old world coins?  It seems to me like AirTites work for some, but not all world coins -- especially the small-sized and oddly-shaped.  Admittedly, though, I've never used an AirTite myself.

What are your thoughts?

Check out the topic that is about half a page below this one. "How do you store and manage your collection"
(I would add the link, but I still haven't learned that trick.) There are some really good idea's there.

Once you are in the page you want to refer to, go to the address bar at the top of the page (like I just did) and right-click on the address (it will turn blue, and in the little box that appears you click on Copy). Then you go to the Topic you want to put the link in, and in your message, when you get to the part where you want to add the copied link, you right-click in the message, and click on Paste. Like this ...

 Though there is a further way that I myself do not know, where a link is pasted like that, but instead of it showing the exact address as it was copied, the link shows other words (but still works as the original link does). The link I added is called a hyperlink. Maybe someone can teach us the other way too.
