<p>[QUOTE=&quot;kvasir, post: 92746, member: 4139&quot;]My parents just got back from a cruise in Mexico, instead of trying to get loose change from circulation like I&#039;ve told them, they got me a souvenir board with about 25 coins and a 10 peso billed GLUED on.</p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;m like, gee thanks, but they are ruined. The coins range from 1 c to 50$ from the 1940s to 2001. Some of the coins look to be chemically treated with unusual rainbow toning. The board was 10 US$. Honestly i think it&#039;s a total rip off and numismatically speaking it might as well be junk. I can even see some of the excess dried glue in a form of a yellow stain. </p><p><br /></p><p>My question is: Would it be better to try extracting the coins off the board and see if soap and water can wash off the glue before it further damage the coins or I might as well just leave the coins on there? The 10 peso bill may be a bit tricky to peel off. At this point i don&#039;t even know IF the adhesive can be washed off.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
