With proper storage, part of which entails keeping all coins in sealed containers, the smoke has no effect for all practical purposes. And because of that I never had to worry about about trying to remove cigarette smoke deposits from coins. Thus I have no experience at all with trying to do that. But a mountain of experience with removing it from anything else.</p><p><br /></p><p>But without proper storage, everything changes and pretty much everything gets deposits on it. Removing those deposits, water by itself has little to no effect, even with scrubbing/wiping. And a lot of household cleaners have little effect as well, even with scrubbing/wiping. But there are some that work quite well when coupled with scrubbing/wiping. Which of course is something that we never want to do with coins at all. So while I could tell you how to easily get any deposits off coins or anything else, the method would be a big no-no ! </p><p><br /></p><p>I also suspect that acetone will have little effect as well since acetone only removes a few things anyway. And while I have no concerns about using acetone on other coins, with using it on copper I do as it can sometimes, stress sometimes, cause the copper to turn weird colors.</p><p><br /></p><p>Xylene on the other hand, while I&#039;ve never experimented with it to get smoke deposits off coins, simply because it was a nonexistent problem for me, it is perfectly safe to use on copper and all other coins, and it might, stress might because it&#039;s only a guess, quickly dissolve and rinse away smoke deposits from coins with just a little swishing action. But, it&#039;s worth a shot because it safely removes a lot of things that acetone won&#039;t.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
