<p>[QUOTE="1865King, post: 8441860, member: 103207"]The correct term is corrosion. And yes, you're looking at corrosion. Rust is a generic term but the same general idea. Every metal will corrode over time if exposed to the right environment. The quarter in question could have been exposed to salt water either in the ocean or dropped on the street in the winter. I've even pull coins like that out of pool drains (chlorinated pool water).[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
