Before you do anything please read this!!

"The first rule of coin cleaning is: If you don't know its value, don't clean it, or if you think it is valuable, don't clean it, or if you know it is valuable, don't clean it. In other words, do not clean your discovered coins; leave them untouched and stored in proper holders. The reason for this is that coin dealers and collectors are interested in purchasing coins in their original condition and natural state of preservation."

Your way incredibly beats eternal damnation as a skill of thinning the herd being recycled. If it became a popularly chosen coverage, i might vote for it. exciting concept akin to Clarence the angel in "that's a remarkable life" attempting to get his wings by utilising assisting Jimmy Stewart. looks there are a sort of jobs open for those exiting point remarkable from this planet.

Leave them in a glass of Coke for a while then wash off with water. Sounds stupid but give it a go then judge what I suggest.

I wouldn't mix vinegar and baking soda... not a good combo... but vinegar by itself works pretty good... I did a science fair project on that a long time ago... nice and clean and stinks to high heaven... haha

I soak pennies in vinegar to get them shinier.

Don't clean them; you might reduce the value. If you decide to clean them anyway, try using denture tablets first.
