Hmmm... Peter S Thomas recommendation "..a coin in high molar HCL .... some strong NaOH to use as a base/alkali test" Mix the two and you might get some "heat"  . If you were to include fertilizer as well.... I dunno ...    Squire |

a coin in high molar HC Don't muck around; try concentrated HNO3! Just don't think about fertiliser in vicinity. Jeff |

I found a near-new 5-cent at the bottom of the local municipal swimming-pool ... almost black.
I know that they are generous with chlorine and other chemicals, due to relatively warm ambient temperature, plenty of sun, and high rainfall (seasonal omly), but I was surprised at how discoloured it was: if it had been there a week earlier, I'm sur I would have noticed it, so I am confident that it didn't have much exposure.

Ok. Now I got it. Sounds like fun but I would for sure be using the Guiness for something else.  |

This is the coin I got from the bag that had BAR written on it.   |

thanks for a squiz at your "pub coin", appleangel07. It looks positively toxic  Acting upon the imaginative feedback from fellow Coin Community members, I concocted "pub swill" using only the finest ingredients. High nicotine budget cigarettes (compatible with hard economic times), Guiness (I forgot how nice that tasted ), dracula's energy drink, plonk and guava flavored vodka water. Pictures attached. Note the happy 5 cent coin, about to get a "dunking". To make the experiment more compatible with appleangel07 "bar coin" I also immersed a 1 dollar coin for the 2 week "booze up" in a separate container . Squire  Edited by Squire Wilson

yep trout, I would NOT be leaving that in the kitchen sink. Nor would I be re-using the containers for food stuffs after. |

"Nor would I be re-using the containers for food stuffs after." ... not unless you had a hankering, a deeply seated nostalgia for seedy pubs ... I have left the container inside another container, sited within my laundry basin. Wonder what it will look like when I come back home this evening  Squire |

.. yes the froth was caused by the "fresh" Guinness with a fag in its mouth doing a dance with the Guava Cruiser   By the time I had decided to test the 1 dollar coin I had already drunk some of that Guinness (to test its high quality of course  ), and so it had lost a bit of its "head". So a lot less froth in the right hand side dish. Yep, I noted that the concoction was giving off a fruity, lolly-water high octane smell when I walked past it this morning. So it is all coming along very satisfactory Squire Edited by Squire Wilson

If I had to pour some perfectly good guinness out there would have been a couple of tears added to the mix |

Well you may, or maybe not, make some pub coins but I bet your laundry now has that distinctive (and unattractive) public bar odour! Jeff |
