Cleaning Pennies, Part 3
I decide to give the dryer a try. I got a couple of used white tube socks, place all the clean pennies in one sock, made a knot and place that sock inside the other sock and made a know on the second sock. I placed the sock in the dryer with a load of clean wet clothes. When the dryer finished, I open the sock and empty the pennies. The inside of the sock was black but the pennies were shining clean. I place all the pennies in a ziploc bag for storage. This was a great a solution to cleaning and drying large quantity of pennies.
One thing I learned while cleaning pennies the second time, the water on the bowl was turning yellow so I decided to change the water and used warm water. Big mistake, the pennies started to tarnish after a few minutes. I had to clean them again with tarn•X. This time I used clean cold water plus a couple of ice cubes to hold the clean pennies until I was ready to put them in the dryer.
