Banknote Storage

I'm new to collecting banknotes and was hoping to get some tips on how to store them.

At the moment, my notes are in ring albums with 3-pocket pages made of polypropylene, with each note in a soft OPP sleeve. I think this is adequate but I'm a bit worried that storing the albums vertically could cause gravity to pull on the notes, since the sleeves and pages aren't too rigid.

I've noticed some minor warping at the bottom of some pages but I think that may be the result of too many pages per binder. I'm working on spreading them out across more binders.

If anyone could share some pointers that would be great! Particularly the number of pages it's safe to keep in one ring binder. Thank you!

Two of my favourite coins I got a while ago. Japanese 1 yen 1880 and Chinese 1 yuan 1914. But are they real?

Specifications:
1 Yen: 38.6mm, 26.887g, slightly underweight
1 Yuan: 39mm, 26.69g, slightly overweight.
Both these coins are heavily faked, so I'd appreciate any opinions on their legitimacy!

Does anyone know where to buy pvc-free album pages that can hold 2x2s?

I swear I've looked everywhere I can think of and have found nothing. I thought Lighthouse/Leuchtturm would be a good option but nope, turns out their 2x2 pages aren't safe either, even though their other pages are. For reference, this is in the UK. There are vendors on ebay shipping from the US but they are ridiculously expensive to ship. Can anyone think of any other options?

Found a good portrait Postumus for a very decent price

Shame about the corrosion on the reverse though

Might be too far gone but if someone could try and help with identification that would be great!
