Cleaned Pre-1982 Pennies in water

Cleaning Pennies, Part 2

A couple of months ago I decided to purchase some more pennies. I went to the bank and ask the teller for $20 of pennies. She didn't have that many so she went to back and got a box of pennies and she opened to take out five dollars out. I told her that I would take to whole box instead and spend two days picking every pre-1982 penny. The next weekend I was doing laundry and decided to clean pennies while waiting for the the washing machine. I had cleaned about about 10 dollars worth of pennies. I used the Tarn•X and two different bowls with clean water. I cleaned them first with tarn•x, then rinse the pennies in the first bowl and then set the pennies the second bowl. Half way through the cleaning I put another load in the washing machine and the first load in the dryer. I return to my penny cleaning and that's when it hit me. What if I put the pennies in the dryer. I had left coins in the pockets of my pants before and found a clean coins clothes when dryer was done.
