<p>[QUOTE="rlm's cents, post: 1315942, member: 7957"]Although Doug will disagree, from what I have been able to make out, it is not that the alloy CAUSES the color change. It is merely that the alloy reacts differently with its surroundings. So if the atmosphere is right for a coin to turn blue, the alloy may turn darker or may not turn at all. Either way, the alloy becomes pronounced.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
