<p>[QUOTE="GDJMSP, post: 980893, member: 112"]If you want to know brand names it's pretty easy to find out. Just Google "coin dip". You'll come up with more than you want.

Then you can see with your own eyes what these chemicals do to coins.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>It's said by many - but nobody knows for sure. All anyone has are assumptions.
