Question about cleaning canvas bags

BuffaloBoy · Apr 29, 2012

Hi all,
I was considering cleaning my canvas bags I dump my coins in... I am sure many of you are thinking I am crazy for even giving this a thought, since coins are so dirty.

when bringing my coins to my truck to be loaded, I set them on the dirt/brown rock driveway, staining the decent shape canvas bags.
I was wondering if anybody has ever tried cleaning their canvas bags, I am seeking advise.

Thanks ,
HH

I have - I just throw them in the washer/dryer like dirty clothes.

I bought a lot of 10 canvas bags, I've been using the same set of 4 for over 4 months now, no signs of wear, definately the best investment I've made too, and to think, at the time, it only cost me $3.00 in 40% halves

Don't clean the bags...you'll harm their numismatic value! :wink:

I spilled a soda on mine. I put it in the wash with the towels and it came out fine. I let it air dry.

mine were free at my local bank. I think one of the managers is a coin hunter as it doesnt cost anything to buy boxes or dump.

If you don't have someone to give them to you, here is a place to get some.

Coolpix - I especially like the ones with the giant dollar sign on them ($). I'm pretty sure if you walk out of the bank with one of those in your hand, you will either get arrested or robbed.
