stop using your fingers on coins

[fmerg]

i have seen a few videos on tnet that show members wiping their fingers on the coins trying to knock off the dirt
a simple way is to get a very large pill bottle take off the cap place the bottle in to a nylon stocking tie the stocking so that it is slightly stretched over the mouth of the bottle cut away the rest
add water then cap you can carry it into the field with you when you get a coin just take it out of your pocket remove the cap
place coin on the nylon replace cap shake for a few seconds then remove
coin will be clean and almost dry and you did not scratch it!

Yeah, looks like some like to really rub them, but for the vids, it seems like when they are rubbing, I only see their thumb, and not the coin! If you make a vid, try to make it so everyone can see the object, not your dirty thumb! Just a tad more professional would help.
