Cleaning arcade tokens???

Amra:
Tokens are usually made of Brass, and most of the commonly used cuboard or refrigerator ingredients contain a natural acid, such as vinegar, Tobasco Sauce, ketchup, tomatoes, milk, and lemon or lime juice, all of them will remove tarnish from Brass. The tarnish washes away with an acid rub or soak. You might have to remove the lacquer cover if the brass is new. Do this by submerging the brass in boiling water with a few teaspoons each baking soda and washing soda (available in the laundry section of the supermarket). Once the lacquer has peeled off, polish dry, then you can do an acid soak or rub.

RetroBorg:
Don't know if you guys in the states have heard of brasso, it will clean your tokens up nicely, the other thing I can recomend is the stuff you clean the beer lines at the local pub with, a girl at work was using it to hand clean beer glasses the other day and commented she had never seen he engagement ring look so shiny.

Ok, It is a lot eiser than you think. Whenever I leave change in my pants when I do wash, it comes out sparkling clean. Depending on how many coins you have, put them into a pillow case or wrap them in a bedsheet and tie off the end. Just put it in a whites and colors wash cycle (with detergent), and they should come out fine. Use the dryer arfterwords for best results.
