Nope. It's a mess. All three of them. The only one that is half way clean is my 70 Mustang Fastback. My
daily driver, an 06 Scion Xb, is a mess.

What do you do with all the car wash tokens you collect?

Throw them in a cup. I must have fifty or sixty or seventy of them. I tried to sell them back,
to the car wash, but they refused. I think they are all for using the vacuum, not for a car wash.
Open to ideas.
Also open to ideas for the 300 or 350 steel cents that were buried in an army ammo box that my cousin dug up...
Unfortunately, the can leaked, and they are all rusted to pieces. Too cool to throw away,
but not very collectible. Some were rusted together into columns of pennies, but they may have fallen apart.
I had a buyer in the UK, but the postage was prohibitive. I am thinking about seeding a local
beach with steel cents to give metal detectors a quick thrill.
I also have about 400 Hong Kong 5 and 10 cent coins from the late 1930's, some in ok shape, some
in rough shape. I may seed the same beach with those.

Any idea on what to do with the steelies, or the HK? I think the HK stuff was buried and dug up, too. Not all corroded, but mostly.

Why would anyone buried those HK 5 & 10 cents? Saving for the depression? WWII? Pictures?
