youngmaster Valued Member United States 245 Posts	Posted 09/29/2019 02:51 am I think I will use the wash hands method for handling circulated coins and just handle by the rim. But what kind of towel do I dry my hands with does it matter probably not since I'm handling by the edge but also probably the same for soap. Though its still worth asking I think.

youngmaster Valued Member United States 245 Posts	Posted 09/29/2019 02:53 am if a coin slips should you just let it fall or try to palm it with washed hands what would be better and if you have a hard floor or wooden or carpet. Sorry if this got weird. Report this Post to the Staff

spru Bedrock of the Community United States 12477 Posts	Posted 09/29/2019 04:16 am It really depends on the coins you are handling. If they're circulated, don't worry about it.

just carl Bedrock of the Community United States 20753 Posts	Posted 09/29/2019 08:42 am Just don't use an acid to wash your hands. Actually almost any soap is OK as long as you rinse it all off. Report this Post to the Staff

T-BOP Rest in Peace United States 18456 Posts	Posted 09/29/2019 09:15 am I find Palmolive is the best soap in this situation . just make sure it's the pink one with 2% lanolin and 6% Sodium Hydroxide . And stay away dehydration palm oil . Just pulling your chain ; It doesn't matter the kind of soap you use to wash you hands nor does it matter what kind of towel to use to dry them , as long as it's a clean one . Hold your coins by the edges and you'll be fine . Report this Post to the Staff
