Title: Re: cleaning Post by: chantalpoole on April 19, 2014, 11:55:55 AM i use cillit bang lime and grime .leave for 20 mins then wipe clean and repeat if needed ,if you leave them too long like overnight or for hours then they end up pink so keep an eye on them ,it also works on all modern coins and is especially good with badly cruded up coins .
personally i take them to the coinstar machine in tescos as it doesnt care what they look like.i have £50 worth in a tub ,when its full it will all go in the coinstar http://www.coinstar.co.uk/ (http://www.coinstar.co.uk/) tells you where your nearest one is Title: Re: cleaning Post by: Da Monkey on April 19, 2014, 12:27:13 PM Parking Meter fodder...
