How can I safely hang a poster up on my wall?

For years now I've hung up posters on my wall with frames, but I'm sick of spending my money like that. My friend sent me two posters and told me she never uses frames, but I'm afraid they might rip or get wrinkled. And I don't know which works best: Pins, nails, or tape? Do you have any suggestions?

I don't want to have to buy any special material to hang up my posters.

Update:

My wall has white paint. I don't care about damaging the wall.

    Just place it on the wall and put pins in it, or tape it.

    With a frame. Maybe you don't care about damaging the wall, but your mom or the landlord might.

    i do no longer think of glue dots, tack dots, gum dots, or any glue on the drywall would be a stable thought. specific that is going to save your poster up, yet once you're taking it down that is going to take the paper floor of the drywall with it. seen it finished. then you certainly've gotten the absorbent section below to color and which would be a actual soreness interior the neck to repair. i might bypass with the double back tape. whilst it comes time to take them down, in case you're cautious you will basically take the poster leaving the tape that can actual be lined with spackle & painted.

    I want to say tape, but sometimes when you take the tape off the wall, it takes some of the wall's paint with you. ( I don't know about wallpaper.)
