Seperate copper/zinc pennies from other clad (ex. quarters,dimes,nickels) and tumble seperatley. Can use pool sand from your local walmart. $6.88 for a nice size bag. Mix sand, a little dish liquid, and some lemon juice and voila! This has worked good for me for modern clad. I would not recommend for silver coins, gold coins, or any older coins.
 

There is no reason to tumble modern coins. Give them a quick wash and 99% will run through a coin counting machine just fine. Usually the only rejects are foreign coins, and bent or damaged coins
 

If time is an issue, Susan is right- a quick shake of all the coins in running water and you are good to go - dry them and run them at
your favorite coin counter . The discoloration will not matter to any counter - as long as all loose debris is off you're good .

So water, lemon juice, sand?

And a little dish washing liquid.
 

Am I the only one who thinks you should at least respect the public people enough to clean your coins off decently?

Nope! I do the same. Who wants a pocket full of dirt?
