[sandy shoes]

Hi all i found a new way to clean real bad sand incrusted coins .i put them in CRL cleaner for about a hour takes all the sand off and you can read the coins great only one draw back it turns the coins reddish in color you can rub off the color with some wd 40 and scotch brite so only do this to coins you want to turn back in thanks and good hunting.

I took mine to the machine at Publix. It jammed it twice, so I need to clean them better. But then again, is it worth the hassle?

ya its worth a little time in cleaning them .mine was so incrusted i would have thrown them away if i didn't put them in CLR i bring mine to my bank machine and to the tellers if the machine wont take them.

A friends' friend that comes down every yr from Wisconsin, cleans them in Draino and with a steel brush.
It is a lot of hassle. I have about 5 or 6 plastic coffee cans filled with ugly crusty coins in them, I haven't got to yet.
I also keep a plastic coffee can in my car, full of the cleaned "ugly" coins, that no one wants to take. They work real good in parking meters and vending machines. They don't judge how the coin "looks" as long as the shape and weight are there!

Throw them in white vinegar over night or dip them in muriatic acid. Heck of a lot less hassle. The zincolns should probably just stay in the coffee cup...
