SilverDollar2017 Pillar of the Community United States 8715 Posts	Posted 12/30/2017 7:48 pm I have read that the Mint tested an "experimental rinse" on 2000 and 2001 dollars to reduce damage such as tarnishing to the coins. From what I have heard, the 2000 experimental rinse dollar is much rarer than the 2001. Report this Post to the Staff

Mark1959 Pillar of the Community 7234 Posts	Posted 12/30/2017 7:59 pm The mint would be better off not sending those junk zinc cents into circulation! And why worry about dollar coinage that never makes it because the public will not support the program. Too big, Too small, always a problem Edited by Mark1959 12/30/2017 8:01 pm Report this Post to the Staff

Spence Moderator United States 34397 Posts	Posted 12/30/2017 8:20 pm Yes, discussed a few times in the past on CCF. If you use the search box in the upper left hand part of your screen with the keywords EXPERIMENTAL RINSE, you will find them. Also, here is a link to a pretty good explanation of the experimental rinse (compliments of @john1): http://www.smalldollars.com/dollar/add002.html "If you climb a good tree, you get a push." -----Ghanaian proverb "The danger we all now face is distinguishing between what is authentic and what is performed." -----King Adz Report this Post to the Staff
