silly question, how do you keep coin smell out of your hands?

I imagine most of you use gloves, but what kind works best? If you are handling a large amount of coins, the smell is bound to get trough the gloves.

Thanks for all the suggestions, I will try the latex gloves. I went trough 4k worth of change this weekend an it was not too bad, but I long term I would rather try keep my hands from getting cooper stained.

I just wash may hands when I'm done, I've had far worse dirt on my hands from working on septic systems before, and soap and water takes care of that too. I will try the detergent thing as I'm currently renovating and after working with all the old wire etc my hands end up black, and it is hard to get that out of the fingerprints/cracks in the skin.

That COOPER smell is the least of your worries. These coins could have been stored in the corner of a dirty hospital floor. If you don't want merca, don't rub your eyes. 8)
