    Make sure your critters don't swallow any Zincolns. Zinc is toxic and can lead to serious hemolytic anemia.

    Probably there should be an overview (seperate thread) on risks of various coins being swallowed. Kids too young to know the difference, will swallow many toxic objects. Just because something is metal does not mean it will not break down. Best of course would be gold coins. Silver may react, but probably not that much. Modern coins are way too questionable in terms of what metals they are using.

    I'm more inclined to think there should be an overview (seperate [sic] thread) on risks of taking farcical threads seriously.

    Or, possibly, an overview on risks of various pets being swallowed by children...

    Cazkaboom One for all, all for me.

    Didn't the OP specifically say it has to be German Shepard slobber? It can't be any other canine drool. It just won't work. :dead-horse:

    Indeed...I even invited someone to argue about it, but have been rebuffed. :(

    Well one could make the argument that it would take a poodle to clean a french coin.. they do have a different way of kissing over there right?
