Ok I know I saw somewhere a mention of gloves someone uses when CRHing, did a search and couldn't find it so asking- if you use gloves while CRHing what do you use? I did about $100 in nickels yesterday and my hands where black

The metal of course if a different issue, not sure how good it is to be exposed to thousands of tiny metal flakes every day!

I've thought about this part of it more than anything. I'm not a huge germaphobe. I still haven't resorted to wearing gloves, but I probably will once I find an option.
 
I've tried going with latex gloves..two problems one: Your hands get hot and sweaty. two: they rip easily..I'd invest in some good soap, its the only way to Roll..
 
I say invest in some really good soap instead. Those gloves just get in the way & slow you down.
 
Dawn dish liquid works best, I believe it is a commercial-type soap, real thick and tackles the dirt. I use the blue kind.

When I have to reroll my halves the gloves actually help me open the roll. It gives me a rubbery fingertip to unroll the crimped end.

And to minimize the sweaty hands I use a cornstarch-based baby powder. My daughters are out of diapers now so they don't need it. Hehe

You can get 5 mil or 7 mil nitrile gloves at Harbor Freight or possibly another hardware store, and the thicker ones don't rip as easily.
 
I hear some of our homies on T-net, have gotten rashes before on their hands from too much c/r/h/'n. I don't use gloves yet, but, i once had my hands completely blackened after going through $1500 in dimes.
 
Just think if its tough enough for your stank dishes, its tough enough for your grubby coin stained hands!
 
MRSA, e-coli, drugs, simonella poisoning, too many risks not to wear gloves, I've found loose change beside toilet's before jus sayin. Ag kills most bacteria, and is no problem, but clad, I imagine would have residual traces after even weeks. Can any reccomend some good C/R/H/n gloves to ol'fiddy?

Ya, sure. Because 90% of Americans do cocaine. Better check your sources on that one.

I did. My wife worked at a bank. It doesn't mean 90% of Americans do. People who do drugs go through a lot of bills though.
 
Also FYi. It doesn't mean that 90 % of bills were used to snort it. ATMs and money counters spread the trace amounts to other dollars. Look it up bid. And it's just a fun fact. We are talking about .006 milligrams on some bills. Not near enough to be toxic.

That's why you have to save up hundreds :)
 
Here's a fun fact. About 90% of dollar bills contain traces of cocaine on them.

I guess bill searching must be even more addicting than CRH.

I don't care about beside toilets, I pick those up. The problem is the ones in the toilets.

in my neck of the woods, people are not exactly straight shooters when it comes to #1, and #2 kinds of business if you know what I'm sayin. I says it once and I says it again, can someone recommend to me a good pair of gloves for coin roll hunting?

I find most of those at school, and there don't seem to be many drunks at school.

I don't know if it is worth picking up a zincoln next to a toilet in a public school that hasn't been thoroughly cleaned since the toilet was installed several years ago :laughing9: just joking sag, a penny is 1/100 of $1, they add up!
 
you must live in a good neighborhood then. I'm surprised NOONE has suggested me any gloves yet.....

Here you go 50: http://www.harborfreight.com/5-mil-nitrile-gloves-powder-free-large100-pc-68497.html

The 5 mil gloves will still break on you, but I can go through an average of about 40 - 50 boxes of halves per pair. 100 come in a box. The 7 mil gloves would last longer but you would loose some tactile sensitivity, and only 50 come in a box while costing more $$.
