Pete2226 Pillar of the Community United States 3332 Posts	Posted 03/06/2015 12:57 pm I know most everyone has seen something like this, but it is the first, most striking, example I have found. I just wanted to post it. Is this where the phrase: "Not one red cent" comes from? Meaning you don't see them very often. I have tried to show the color as close to the actual color as I can.

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 03/06/2015 1:31 pm Something that makes cents turn red is saliva. That and other bodily fluids color/alter the them from normal. Sneeze droplets makes freckles on coins. The hand fingerprints alter the color of cents in a bad way. Report this Post to the Staff
