I'll make a note to check out the MSDS - that's a good idea.

I agree with the suggestions that it's probably bitrex. I found this post somewhere on the net:
"Where I work (Aerofil) one of the products that we put into cans (aerosols) is dusters or canned air. Due to people huffing it we are now going to put Bitrex (Denatonium Benzoate) into the dusters. There was a high school student that died on Christmas Eve. from huffing here in Sullivan. They are going to have to buy a special filler to put this into the can. I think we will be putting a half of a gram into the can before it gets charged with the propellant. The Bitrex is a very nasty product to work with according to someone that has worked with it in the past. We are doing a test run next week. I will let you know how it goes"
By the by, I happened upon one site describing the joys of huffing canned air. I have never read such idiocy in my life. Definitely proof that either huffing canned air kills of massive amounts of brain cells, or that people with massive amounts of missing brain cells like to huff it. What a bunch of morons.
I wouldn't think it would harm your coins, but why take chances. You could be known as the inventor of Bitrex Toning.

Just a heads up with this stuff. The new fad is that kids are buying it and inhaling it to get a "high". The problem is the propellant used in it is concentrates in the lungs and suffocates them if they inhale too much of it. We had a couple of kids locally to die from it.
What a stupid stupid thing to do.......

<< <i>Denatonium is a quaternary ammonium cation. It is a compound of a salt with an inert anion like benzoate or saccharide
what was that ???
that was from google/wikpedia. similar compounds that you might recognize are the quaternary ammonium compounds found in those little moist towelettes or baby wipes, etc.
