<p>[QUOTE="desertgem, post: 3097434, member: 15199"]They belong to you. Clean if you wish. If they are circulated as I assume,so they have been banging together and rubbing against each other for years in coin pockets. If I was so inclined, I would put them in a large empty plastic tub ( such as a costco Pretzel container) , add water and a couple of DROPS , not squirts , of detergent to lower the surface tension and some old wash cloths....let them set for an hr and then swirl them for a while with your arms, pour out water and allow to dry on soft towels. If need be ,, repeat with water until it stays clean. I feel they will not be further damaged by this process. Obviously , you are forsaking any possible gains over current dirty value, but they are yours. Jim[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
