How do you organize your world coins?

I just moved from collecting U.S. coins to world coins, and am trying to figure out a good way to display my coins. Could you take a picture or make a short video showing your coin album and/or coin collection?

I'm looking for ideas.

There are countless threads about this on the forum, search for organize collection in the forum

Here's my two cents.

​I like this, but how do you keep the coins from falling out?

The problem with world coins, I collect world coins from the last century (1900-2000) and the problem is that they are a very very large number: more than 3000 (and I collect by types not by years).
At the beginning, I started to buy albums with pages with pockets but then it is difficult to manage.
Either you put all coins of a country on one page and then add new pages when you have more coins, but they are not organized. Later I reserved the space for the lacking coins, but using the Krause you have to wait some time to know exactly how many are the coins of one country.
Now I am using the cardboard coin holder with a round hole, and put all the coins of one country in a box.
Unfortunately, up to now may boxes are recovered ones all different and so it is not easy to spot the one of a specific country.
I tried also some Ikea boxes and they seem quite ok

I also collect world coins by type. I have about 20 three-ring binders divided alphabetically by country. I start with a map of the country (sometimes more than one if it's undergone major political changes over time) in a page protector sheet. On the back side I have a 4x5 grid I make in Word that corresponds to the coins in the flip sheet. Ideally I have two of each type, arranged by value and date, to better show the obverse and reverse. I also include in my information section translations of what is on the coin (Thank you Numista!), composition, and notes on symbolism or biography if it features an person. I also try and include a sample of what the flag of the country looked like when the coin was made.

For countries that have undergone major political changes over time, I divide up that country's coins into subsections (i.e. Imperial Russia, USSR, and the Russian Federation)

Here is a sample of my collection from Greece.

I also use coin boxes for ones I have duplicates of and these are frequently coins I use for trade. The binder coins are always the best example of a given coin I have.

​That looks really nice! I may have to borrow your idea 😀

2x2s in row boxes.

All my coins are in 2x2 flips in pages in binders.
They are ordered first by country, then by denomination.

I've got one binder for silver.
A binder each for certain year ranges: Pre-1900, 1900-WWI, WWI, between WWI and WWII, WWII, and lastly 6 binders for anything post WWII.
There are a couple of focus binders as well for countries I collect a little more completely as well as my FAO coins.
