Cleaing Pennies, Part 1I started to press pennies on our first vacation trip to San Francisco. I only did it because it was fun and it was a cheap souvenir. It never crossed my mind to search on the internet for penny machine locations.
I found a website that open my eyes to collecting press pennies. I didn't know that people actually collected the pressed pennies. The Pennycollector website listed all the places where I could find penny machines. I learned that collectors used pre-1982 pennies and this explained why some pennies showed the silver lines and others didn't. This site also listed several options for cleaning pennies.
I decided to try the lime juice. I search through all my change and collected all the pre-1982 pennies. I spent several hours cleaning and drying about 100 pennies. This was a very slow process.
The next time I went to the bank and purchased $5 dollars of pennies and decided to use Tarn•X to clean them. The Tarn•X cleaned the pennies fast, but it still took a while to dry every penny.
