[QUOTE="kanga, post: 1024265, member: 9270"]Actually it's just the reverse. It's one of the more reactive metals. That's why it's used to coat steel (galvanized). Zinc will protect the steel by taking all the environmental punishment. Think about 1943 Lincolns. But once the zinc coating is breached, then the steel starts to rust. Again think about 1943 Lincolns. Seal zinc (or zinc coated) coins as best as you can. For inexpensive coins 2x2's will work as long as you keep an eye on them. For better coins I would suggest something like Airtites.[/QUOTE]
