[QUOTE="andrew289, post: 892955, member: 6463"]I don't know why it works. I actually discovered it by accident. I bought a couple wooden cigar boxes when I was in LA and shipped them home for decor. My wife at the time was a decorator. When I got them home. I put one on my desk and emptied my pocket change into it and forgot about it. It got buried by some papers and books. I opened it up 3-4 months later and was surprised the coins had toned. I remembered that I had a couple more out in the garage so I went to check on them. I had odds and ends, screws, nuts bolts and ofcourse spare change in those as well. They had toned also but I think the heat and humidity of the garage is what made them a little more attractive than the ones that were inside. So now I rotate coins in and out every 3-4 months and flip them over from time to time. I consider this natural toning because it is nature that is doing it. I just happen to keep some coins in a couple old cigar boxes.[/QUOTE]
