    Should I also go outdoors to remove my fingernail polish?

    Update: I tried acetone and found it evaporated fasted than it cut the crud from the coins. So I aborted and will throw the dirty birds in the sack to go to the dump site tomorrow. Thanks for all the input. Ron

    Dumb question, but you did *soak* it in the acetone, right? In a covered /sealed container?

    Soak, yes, covered and sealed, no. Probably soaked for 20 minutes or so. Barely cut the crud.

    Thanks, I'll remember that. These were not of great value so I'll let them go.
