Always use specialty plastic pockets for your coin storage. They are made of materials that do not damage your coin collection that can be found in other plastic cases.

Cleaning coins is not such a good idea. Coins don’t like water (especially copper ones) and they even don’t like you! Yes. Our skin is oily and touching the coins is not the smartest thing to do. Some collectors claim that coins can be cleaned with gentle substance, distilled water and soap, vinegar or even olive oil – and use gloves! Though if you must clean a coin there are professionals and experts in coin cleaning, but remember that once a coin was “cleaned” it may not gain its original value.
