Ah, I have very light fingerpicks for autoharp, and they squash like little bugs if they are left loose. One is usually TAPED to the harp itself with medical tape that I use to keep it stiuck well on my finger, just to keep it from squashiong. The adhesive makes a nasty mess on the metal part I stick it onto! (The cases I like best have no inner pocket, is the problem.)

I use a lot of Altoids in connection with our church work, and yesterday I made a steal-- 2 tins were on sale so cheap that for the first time, I bought them for the tins they come in and the mints will go in a ziploc for refilling!

And as far as your flat picks go, Altoids now makes a smaller tin for smaller mints-- that would fit the flat picks just great.
