Too bad the coins are "contaminated". I never heard that one before.

Wow, I don't think they will ever get all of the coins, especially in the rocky sides of the road. People will be pulling coins out of there for years!

Depatie said the coins, which were "contaminated" by road salt and the elements, will have to be treated before they are allowed into circulation.

I'll clean them For them.
and I'll only Keep 1 in every 100
