Some people are very interested in coins and you may be too. One thing that you should do is to keep them clean at all times.

These are some of the things that you can do so that you can start cleaning copper coins:

• Place table salt in a container.

• You should add white vinegar so that the salt can be moisturized properly. This will be effective in making sure that the coins will be properly cleaned.

• You would need to apply the paste that you have created on the coins.

• Wait for a few minutes.

• You may immediately see that the coins will start to become clean.

• You can just rinse off the coins with warm water.

Instead of wiping the coins, just allow the coins to air dry. It will make a lot of difference with how the coins would look like after.
