[QUOTE="gxseries, post: 77409, member: 4373"]Sorry, PVC damaging gold coins is true. Pure gold does tarnish or "melt" under extreme conditions if you aren't careful enough. And here is a link off wikipedia: [url]http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gold[/url] Forget gold alloys, that's much useless. And a direct quote off them: [I]Gold is a chemical element in the periodic table that has the symbol Au (L. aurum) and atomic number 79. A soft, shiny, yellow, heavy, malleable, ductile (trivalent and univalent) transition metal, gold does not react with most chemicals but is attacked by [B]chlorine[/B], fluorine and aqua regia.[/I] And if you know what PVC is made out of, it is PolyVinyl [B]Chloride[/B]. Now, you can make a final conclusion by yourself.[/QUOTE]
