Coin Collection - How to carry coins on a plane

Flying with coins presents special problems for the dealer and collector. Coins add to the list of stuff you must carry and watch out for. Coins can be heavy and must be handled carefully on flights so that other passengers are not injured. Some airlines may charge extra fees for excess baggage weight, and in extreme cases, you may not be allowed to bring the extra weight at all!

Consider yourself vulnerable every step of the way, from the time you leave your home until the time you arrive at your hotel at the other end of your trip.

Here are our best recommendations for carrying coins on a plane:

If you have a lot of luggage, enlist the aid of a skycap. Make sure you keep your hands and eyes on your coins at all times. Don't turn your back on your coins, even for a second, and maintain physical contact with them at all times.

Be careful at the airport security checkpoint, where you're most vulnerable to coin theft. After you make it through the metal detector, security guards will probably ask to search your coin bag (rows of coins form suspicious-looking metal rods in an X-ray). Ask for a private search so the whole world doesn't see what you have in your bag. Never allow the security guards or anyone else to take your coins out of your sight.

Try to board the airplane early so that you can stow your coins under your seat or as close as possible to your seat. If you can't find a compartment near your seat, stow your coins in the rows behind you, never ahead of you. In the crowded interior of an airplane, it's easier to stop someone behind you than it is to chase after someone ahead of you. Don't let anyone know what you're carrying. On long flights, check on your bag from time to time, just to make sure it's still safe and secure, especially if you've dozed off during the flight.

Don't allow your coins to be placed in the trunk of a cab or limousine, or you may end up watching helplessly as they're driven off without you. You're much better off bringing the coins with you into the cab.
