So what does everyone use to clean their coins/finds?- rolling my finds up.

Decided to roll up all the common junk I found, what does everyone do with the stuff inorder to put back into circulation?- I don't think my bank would appreciate some nasty rolls of quarters,dimes etc. . I am not even sure some of the zincolns would be acceptible as bad as they are. I am sorting them out and saving the copper pre-82, but can't really see saving all of this stuff. I also sorted and separated my pull tabs, bottle caps, fishing stuff, miniture car and ammo finds- weather was pretty much a wash out for most of October. I had one of those harbor freight $30 rock tumblers before- it lasted about 30 days before the motor went and it went into the dumpster. Any home made or better tumblers out there? I don't really want to set up electrolosis or soak all this stuff (modern coins) just to be able to spend it.

The belts they sent with it lasted only a few hours but once I got a good belt its been fine.
I usually spend January and february tumbling and rolling my stuff.

In mid 1982 the mint changed to copper plated zinc for the cent. 99.2% zinc. Before that the cent was 95% copper, 5% zinc so the value of the copper in the pre '82's is more than 1 cent. Many people are hoarding all they can find in the hope they will make out some day.
