[QUOTE="Dogmatic, post: 3606, member: 156"] The salt and vinegar works well with our current decimal coins. (1/4 cup vinegar to 1 tsp salt) I used one of those plastic drink (Tupperware) mixers/shakers and shook it up with the decimal coins in it. Let is sit for a while did it again then new solution, shake, sit, shake, rinse. come out as good as new. I suppose the longer it sits the better. Mine was only about 1/2 hour. Not sure about older coins. I cleaned $50 worth of coins in one hit like this. Many went from unreadable to being able to go straight back into circulation. Very little effort. [/QUOTE]
