there's a website that showed you how to remove zinc from a copper

don't remember which acid they used.


It might have been an episode of Modern Marvels: Acid.

Spend a night at the Waldorf Astoria. One of the services they offer
there is to clean and polish your coins. Paper money is cleaned and
pressed. All included in the cost of the room.

They have a valet butt-wiping service, as well? I do believe you, but
man- if the rich folk wonder why they unwashed masses wanna string them
up- dirty money spends just as well as the fresh stuff....
