I've heard of people using the change machines at the supermarkets to turn them into notes, but I don't know what commission they take. Title: Re: cleaning pound coins Post by: nfl on September 10, 2010, 07:41:18 PM its only laundering if you use daz ;D

Title: Re: cleaning pound coins Post by: Al.Thepastfinder, ( Alan ) on September 11, 2010, 07:47:49 AM I give them a soak in Vinegar with a pinch of salt, if they are not too bad they will clear up pretty quickly, within an hour,
worse ones will need to be soaked for a couple of hours or over night, and may just been a little rub with a wire Brush to finnish off, hope this helps,. it works great for me, Alan Title: Re: cleaning pound coins Post by: nomad on September 11, 2010, 08:33:17 AM thanks for the advice ..i shall have ago tonight, when i get back..i will try them alll.... thanks again .. cheers paul

Title: Re: cleaning pound coins Post by: the sutt on September 11, 2010, 03:58:03 PM the only advice i can give you is take them as they are to the bank and
ask them to exchange them for clean ones and they will do it for you as they have done it for me in the past |
