	Cleaning Clad Coins - the Easy Way « on: August 07, 2006, 11:16:04 am »

I've found a great way to clean discolored clad coins. Put them in a coin vending machine and then hit the RETURN button. They come out nice and clean and shiny. WARNING don't try to clean good key-date coins this way (somehow the vending machine manages to change the dates on the coins!)

It only takes one person to report it and that'll effect the hobby in your locale.

I just got done tumbling mine. They don't have to tumble all that long either. Wink

Just don't forget to seperate the copper from the rest, and tumble them seperately 'cause the silver and nickel coins will come out pink (well, unless you're into that sort of thing.

).

NICE.........I roll them and deposit in the bank, don't worry about cleaning 'em.

Keep in mind- Do NOT tumble nonclad coins. You could be ruining the coins true value.
