Very bad. The plastic has chemicals in it that will harm the coin and
the vacuum packer would cause the plastic to be pressed tightly to the
coins surface.

Do a newsgroup search on PVC if you're interested in more information.

I think thats a great idea! Isn't it air that oxidizes the metals or
something or is it just touching the coins that is the culprit. Either
way the foodsaver solves both.

Since the bags come in direct contact with your food, why would you
think they are made of PVC?

From the FAQ at the "Foodsaver" website:

What are FoodSaver Bags made of?
A: They are made of polyethylene (a type of plastic) with an outer
layer of nylon for added strength and rigidity.

JUST FYI OFF THE FOODSAVER WEBSITE



Can I keep comic books or coins in FoodSaver bags?
A. Yes, but just seal the bags, do not vacuum them. The pressure caused by
the vacuum can cause the pages and print transfers to stick together. Coins
can be vacuum-packed, but be sure that you place some type of backing, such
as cardboard, in the bag against the "waffle" side, and face the coins
toward the smooth side of the bag. This will eliminate the possibility of
any marks left on the coins after long term storage.
