<p>[QUOTE=&quot;rysherms, post: 1770802, member: 46631&quot;]you are right and I do apologize. putting some shiny pennies in, knowing you will need to rough them up and make them shiny again when they start getting dull can help....minimally. you would need A LOT of them in something the size of a safe and in all honesty, I have to look up the affinity for ambient ionic bonding of copper just to see exactly how helpful it would be. Basically you need the surface area of the pennies to be many times greater than whatever you are trying to protect,&nbsp; then you have to factor in the volume of air of the confined space (the smaller it is the easier to &quot;treat it&quot; would be) etc etc. honestly the idea of using one metal to act as a surface for these unwanted molecules to land on rather than your silver is like trying to dig a well with a spoon. there are bigger tools to use that actually make the process feasible.</p><p><br /></p><p>Coin Armour simply cannot do this. A ziplock bag with a few pennies in it would be more effective, because it isnt just the surface area that counts. I mean think about it, if you have to rough the pennies up every so often to expose the unreacted copper, how would you rub off a layer from this CoinArmour being it is a micron or so thick? And the effect is minimal, but if that&#039;s your only option or money is preventing you from purchasing a product DESIGNED to absorb a specific compound then sure, toss a few pennies in a ziplock with your slabbed coin, or crack open a few 2013 rolls of pennie s fre sh from your bank and spread them around the bottom of your safe or SDB, but again, its just copper. It is a stable metal. The only molecules that settle on the pennies will react and stick,&nbsp; its not like they are attracted or are drawn to them. Its like throwing darts at a wall blindly. If you have 10 dartboards hanging on the wall you are 10x more likely to hit a bullseye than if there was only 1 dartboard. </p><p><br /></p><p>I guess because that analogy isn&#039;t posted on BELLS LABs website it isn&#039;t true.
