<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Just Carl, post: 566362, member: 4552&quot;]Your lucky your even working. Not many people are you know. </p><p>As to a coin toning, that never happens. It&#039;s all a myth started by insane coin collectors attempting to prove they are sane. All coins are made of non toning materials and even glow in the dark. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie2" alt=";)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />:goofer:</p><p>For real coins are metal and all metals react with some substances chemically. The different metals and the different outside substances create differences in toning, tarnishing, corroding, rusting, etc. For example Copper, one of the most used materials in coins, is reactive with almost anything or so it appears when trying to preserve it. The Oxygen, Carbon Dioxide, moisture, Sulfur compounds, etc. play havok with Copper coins, pipes, grounding systems, lightning rods, statues, etc. Same with Silver, Gold, Platinum or any metal used to make a coin. Most people think Gold or Platinum do not react with other substances but those too also react but much less than Copper. </p><p>I sometimes feel our government uses Copper in most coins so they will slowly corrode away making the necessity for new ones a necessity.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
