[Fries-With-That]

Hi,

Don't use vinegar on old money, copper/silver cleans up very well with duraglit wadding. You can but this in most supermarkets.

Many older coins (silver coloured) actually contain real silver, if you use vinegar it will turn them black. If you do this you will never get them clean.

Clean the coins with duraglit then polish with a soft cloth/tissue, then you can wash them in a mild washing up liquid solution, let dry and if you want to put them on display you should spray paint them with clear varnish or lacquer.

Old notes can be gently washed in a mild solution of washing powder and luke warm water. don't crush the note, let it lay flat in the solution and gently wipe with a soft sponge ( make up/baby sponge is ideal).

These will look great under glass on a coffee table.

Support the glass on those felt pads you get for the feet of furniture.

I'd love to see a picture when you're finished.

Regards,

Fries.
