Exact solutions to static and nonstatic Einstein-Maxwell equations in the presence of extremely charged dust embedded on thin shells are constructed. Singularities of multi-black-hole Majumdar- Papapetrou and Kastor-Traschen solutions are removed by placing the matter on thin shells. Double spherical thin shell solution is given as an illustration and the matter densities on the shells are derived.
