| Clean Tokens or not? |

I ordered a bunch of random tokens and was wondering if people have some solution to clean them up. Are there any certain tokens that people like more than others? I tried to sort them in to groups and was wondering if there is anything I should look for. I know they aren't going to be collectibles, but was wondering if there is any reason I shouldn't clean them? If you do clean it, what do you use? I remember cleaning pennies back in science class with just coke or something like that. Thanks in advance! |

I can't speak to the tokens worth or reasons why not to clean them, per say. But like you said, I can't imagine they are going to be too collectible like real coins. So personally I would clean them, but it's up to you. I recently bought a bunch of tokens for my pachislo machine, and I wanted to clean them before use. From reading on a few pachislo forums, what a lot of people on there said to use was CLR. This should be available in a lot of normal stores, and hardware stores. All I did was soak the tokens in the CLR for a few hours, stirring occasionally. The tokens came out very clean. I don't feel dirty touching them any more, and my hands don't smell like old coins when I do! So anyway, that's what I did. |

Hey markronz, once you were done soaking and stirring them, how did you rinse and dry them? I won some tokens on eBay and plan to clean them up myself using CLR. |

That was the most irritating part of the process for me. After the soaking, I just ran the faucet and washed off each one, or perhaps a few at a time with water. Then I used a towel to dry them. I didn't make sure they were bone dry, just reasonably close to dry. Then once I was done, I laid all the tokens out on my carpet for the night. I made sure they weren't piled on top of each other, just laid out separately. If they were damp at all still, they were dry by morning. There might be a better way to do this, but that's what I did. Took me maybe an hour. |
