Cleaning Clad Coin

[bcalton]

Hi All:
I just finished cleaning all my coins from the last few days of finds.
What do the rest of you clean yours with?
I use small aquarium gravel, a few squirts of dish detergent, water and 2-table-spoons of CLR.<p>I use a 2-barrel rock tumbler and put the Penny's in one and the nickels, dimes, and quarters in the other one.<p>I usually let in run for 2-3 hours. I put a small amount of gravel in the bottom of barrel, <p>add coins and then more gravel to cover them up.<p>I then add water to cover the gravel about 3/4 full, add dish detergent and CLR, replace lids and let them run. (PS) I also run a small fan blowing on the motor to keep it from becoming to hot.
