I guess the BEP could come up with a design that has a "panel" for the subject-du-jour, but a constant design around it, and tell the machine...
Well, not for a living. Edit: with presales on eBay getting up into the $500 range, I think a lot of people will find it worth the trouble to...
With a mintage of 30K I might consider it as a flip opportunity, but not to keep. I think the "enhanced" treatments have potential, but if a coin...
I was going to say that I don't know what the current exchange rate is, but I don't have any plans to go to Bazil, so I probably wouldn't be...
So, in other words, if you start putting a bunch of alternate designs on paper currency, it effectively can't circulate. Of course, this may not...
Different silver cleaners contain different things, but if it's "polish", it has abrasives. Even if the product doesn't have abrasives, rubbing a...
Baking soda is still abrasive. Rub any abrasive against a coin and you'll leave tracks.

I know, right?
Okay, I'll blabber, because I'm not privy to any trade secrets, and I haven't tried any of these. I'm just basing it on fairly basic chemistry....
Me, as long as self-checkout machines will consume them. It avoids CoinStar fees and the labor of rolling up for the bank.
So, we're stuck with Lincoln cents, Jefferson nickels, Roosevelt dimes, Washington quarters, Kennedy halves, and Sacagawea dollars -- forever?
I'm afraid that right there was what we call "friendly fire".
Oops, you said the quiet part out loud.
It's on my list. Is this an experiment you've actually done yourself, or is this from discussions with others who have, or just reasoning it out?...
If that's actually rust (and it apparently is), acetone will never affect it. When you're doing an acetone soak, be sure to cover your container...
Welp, looks like I'll be wandering by Walmart sometime this week for a pick-up. I've got some rusty steelies and nickels (?!) from a big junk lot...
