<p>[QUOTE="Fish, post: 490734, member: 6034"]If you don't rinse afterwards there could be some acetone left on the coin, which won't react with it BUT will react with anything else it touches. Especially if you want to, say, put it in a plastic flip. The acetone will eat it.</p><p><br /></p><p>If what you want to remove is organic (not tape residue or the like) you can also use xylol. It's even more caustic than acetone and is actually quite poisonous, but it will remove a lot of stuff. I've used both acetone and xylol on silver and copper to no ill effect. Xylol can be purchased at a hardware store, look in with the paint thinners.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
