<p>[QUOTE="abuckmaster147, post: 1617963, member: 27527"]I was wondering about soaking them in 90% alcohol, I am not saying good as in collectors but maybe a few silvers in the bunch, I have already found a few very nice old coins in there and a lot of Canadian, and a few not foreign coins but us medallions or tokens. I am more worried about bad germs than regular germs if you know what I am saying the boy is young and still likes to put his hands in his mouth and fingers and such, I guess thats what makes them healthy LOL He is almost 5 so its not like he will put a coin in his mouth we have already talked about that one. i just would like to sanitize or sterilize a little before we handle them and he licks a snack off his hand or fingers Ha Ha. I was thinking alcohol or hot soapy water? Do you see what I am saying plus he knows how to touch coins and he will not know I cleaned them. This may sound stupid but he has a purell hand sanitize on his school backpack and he knows when to use it. We have had a real bad strain of flue here and alot of folks that have had flue shots getting sick. So we are a bit carfull, But he also knows not to over use it too and get it where its not working.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
