<p>[QUOTE="Just Carl, post: 114082, member: 4552"]WD-40????????? Then what? Light the coin? Please read the can. Contains Petroleum Distillates. Caution, contents are Flammable. That stuff will remove some of the dirt, leave an oily film, be harmful to your lungs, ruin the coin more than lemon juice. As for putting one in your pocket, remember it will come out scratched, worn and just as dirty as when it went in. True that the smell will go away after a while but the oily film will persist. That is the idea of WD-40. To leave a film of oil. You may as well just use the Brillo pad I was kidding about. For anyone here that is new you'll find that about once a month on this forum and many others there is always that same question. How to clean coins. And basically there will be lots of discussions but the real thing is to leave well enough alone.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
