How do I clean $1 and $2 coins, along with 5c 10c, 20c and 50c Australian coins????

My husband has recently bought a metal dectector, and he has been finding lots of $1 and $2 coins, along with 5c, 10c, 20c and 50c. But mind you, just about all of them were found in the dirt. So they are very dirty and tarnished. Does anyone know what I can use to get them back to their lovely gold and silver colors again, so that we are able to use them.
I have heard Coca Cola, but I don't know if that theory is true.
Any ideas anyone, or has anyone had to clean these coins themselves???

I also detect.The one and 2 dollar coins will come up like new if you place them on a cloth and rub with a damp steelo soap pad. The silver coins place in a bowl with salt sprinkled over them and then pour vinegar on to cover. They come clean real quick . the shine is no longer on them but they are clean just make sure you have no old copper coins in with them otherwise they will turn copper coloured

Yes, if they are just ordinary coins chuck them in some coke.

Or you could try vinegar, it's the acidity that cleans them.

Put them in a glass of coke over night. They will be as clean as a whistle

Coke does work like a charm.

Just like in the coin test, use Ezy Off Bam

"BAM !! And the dirt is gone"

This might be the wrong thing to use, but as a kid I seem to remember dipping coins in a product called Brasso (brass cleaner) cleaned them shiny as a whistle.

What works for me is sticky taping the coins to the roof and sides of my car and going through a car wash they come out sparkling at the other end. But you need to use duck tape ordinary sticky tape comes off in the wash.

One of the easiest cleaners is vinegar and bicarbonate of soda. I'd suggest you put some foil into a baking pan and spread the coins on the foil. Then sprinkle the coins with bicarb and then pour some white vinegar over the coins. Beware though when pouring the vinegar into the bicarb... the fizz has got to be seen to be believed. Leave the coins to soak as long as possible (overnight is probably best). You may need to use a toothbrush to remove some of the worst tarnish; but they should come out like new after this "bath".

I haven't tried to clean coins for a very long time - since I was a kid, in fact. But I can remember at school experimenting with vinegar in a science lesson. It really worked well with the 2c and 1c pieces (now I'm showing my age!) but those were copper, I believe.

I can't recall if we tried to clean any of the silver coins with vinegar. Try it anyway, it won't hurt. You leave it to soak for a couple of hours and it self-cleans.

Have you tried products like Brasso and Silvo? They might work, too.
