Earle42 Bedrock of the Community United States 10038 Posts	Posted 05/15/2017 6:06 pm Yes - concentrated nitric acid. I did this many times in the past showing students how different acids work on different substances. Mine all came out looking the same.

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 05/17/2017 2:14 pm To tell the difference between an acid dipped coin and a Dryer Coin, the weight is the difference. The acid eats away on the coin reducing the weight. On a Dryer Coin the weight is normal, just the rim is rounded over the devices and the faces are often damaged. Report this Post to the Staff
