Clad...what to do with it?

fish1on · Nov 28, 2012

I was just wondering what you all do with your clad coins? I clean them up (rough clean by just soaking in mild soap water) and store in a jar to cash in at the bank tumbler but many are still kinda dirty and laden with heavier deposits and get sent back out.

What do you do to clean the coins up and do you cash them in?

I use a rock tumbler and clean them just enough to pass through the coin machine.

I also use a rock tumbler and take them to the bank. Had a good summer 1945 pennies 175 nickels 577 dimes & 346 quarters. Just cashed them in Tuesday of this week.. Kellyco sells a powder that I use for the really dirty coins. that you mix with water. It cleans really good. I save the liquid and use it again a few more times as a bag of it is not cheap.. But 1 bag last me a long time . If you look in here for my thread you will see a few pics of the coins that were cleaned with the powder. Good Hunting Shane

Well, if you want to have some fun just take a pocket full of the chewed up clad to a crowed mall during their busy time and drop it at a cash register when someone is making a purchase, and do the same thing in the main mall and watch people scramble for it. :icon_thumright:
