horror of horrors, just_carl. That advice is so, so bad, I thought it must be in jest. A checklist of sure ways to destroy your coins.

Ok, it seems the whole idea at that page is to describe techniques to make your pennies shiny before you smash them into elongated cents. Kinda of like preparing the planchet before striking.

Yes, t360, Carl's link is not about coin cleaning so much as it's about copper slug cleaning.

That may be the case, but for those new to collecting and not aware of the damage cleaning can do, he should have but a disclaimer with that link. If someone goes to that site and then does something from that site (and doesn't read anything else, etc.) then that could be disastrous for their collection, both now and in the future.
