<p>[QUOTE=&quot;NateBe123, post: 25887, member: 1660&quot;]<b>toilet bowl cleaner</b></p><p><br /></p><p>I was searching the forum for toilet because I wanted to see if anybody had posted about putting coins in toilet bowl cleaner. Another one of my few posts came back in the search relating to an auction I had lost for an UNUSED lucite toilet seat with coins in it. I don&#039;t know why my posts frequently relate to toilets.</p><p><br /></p><p>Anyway, I got a 1996 quarter today in change. It is nothing special except it was really dirty. It had black stuff on it and just looked terrible. I thought to myself I should try and clean this. I remembered seeing on the internet a penny that was soaked in toilet bowl cleaner turned out to be very clean after it was taken out.</p><p><br /></p><p>I put the quarter in a cheap plastic party type cup. I poured on some toilet bowl cleaner. I was looking through my closet and found another brand of toilet bowl cleaner and poured some of that in too. I decided to throw in some JFK half dollars that were dirty (I had just gotten about $340 worth in rolls from the bank). I let those sit for about 15 minutes. I went over 15 minutes later not realizing I could smell this from like&nbsp; 5 feet away I took a breath and it just about knocked me over. Very strong chemical smell to say the least!</p><p><br /></p><p>I poured the contents of the cup into the sink and was surprised to see most of the dirt came off.</p><p><br /></p><p>I want to try another experiment and put those same coins in the toilet bowl cleaner for like a week and leave it in my backyard because the kitchen didn&#039;t smell so good after I conducted my first experiment.</p><p><br /></p><p>Would a weeks worth of soaking remove some of the coins high points, like the date?</p><p><br /></p><p>Anybody have a link to experiments on coins soaking in chemicals?</p><p><br /></p><p>I saw on Mythbusters they tested Coca Cola in various things and one was cleaning a penny... the Coke did nothing in the penny cleaning test.</p><p><br /></p><p>Also, sorry to bring back this post but I read somewhere it is better to reply to a current thread than to start a new one.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
