clenaing pennies didn't work.

So I had some dirty pennies, plus one each of a nickel, dime, and quarter, that were dark or had white or even blue stuff on them. Some had been sitting in water somewhere maybe.

And it said use vinegar and salt, and I did, and the worst ones look better now, but the rest of them look worse!! They all have white "powder" stuck to them, and it doesn't come off. So I rinsed them in water again (even though I'd rinsed them plenty after the vinegar.) BTW, none of the pennies came out shiny, like the web pages said it would Is it because I didn't use white vinegar? I used cider vinegar. Surely that's okay. Not enough salt. What should I do now? Can I take them to the bank and then it will be the bank's problem? What about the mint? Don't I owe society more than that? I'm going to buy some Cherry Zero Coke tomorrow. Will that help? Do I have to omit the Cherry? (I remember that diet works as well as with sugar) Thanks. what about this one? http://www.howtocleanthings.com/how-...an-pennies.htm -- ---=««-Dilbert Firestorm-»»=--- Zizzle that Fire - it's Zizzle Time !!!!!!! |

Tony, WTF is your story, really? You claim to be an engineer who's been in the U.S for something like 45 years. Yet you're almost illiterate with English, you tend to offer the most useless feedback, you type like a drunken baboon late at night, often in word salads or sentences truncated in the middle as though you've slumped off at the keyboard, and here you are responding to a thread from February. So 'fess up. I'm guessing you're a one-legged, one-eyed, seven-fingered janitor in a prison psychiatric hospital, accessing usenet from a vacuum tube fired PDA. Not that there's anything wrong with that, of course. |
