<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Cherd, post: 3047756, member: 24754&quot;]If quantum mechanics has taught us anything, it&#039;s that the very act of measuring anything is destructive. At the quantum level, the system could be completely disrupted, whereas, at the macro level, the effect could be negligible. These things are all points on a very large spectrum.</p><p><br /></p><p>Technically, the very act of touching a coin &quot;alters&quot; the surface in some way. The effect is imperceptible, but changes at some scale do occur. Is this destructive? Unless you&#039;ve just finished eating a greasy pizza and didn&#039;t wash your hands, we should all agree that the answer is &quot;No&quot;. Of course, we would all also agree that a wire brush would be a &quot;Yes&quot;.</p><p><br /></p><p>I guess it all comes down to where you draw the line, and where other&#039;s draw their lines. Quite frankly, I&#039;m not all that worried about it, I just like a good debate. But, I&#039;m good to let this one go, we could go around in circles for days.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
