Cleaning (coinage)

Okay kiddo, have you ever seen your parents clean your toys or your room? It's kind of like that, but with coins instead of toys. When we say we're cleaning coins, it means we're trying to make them shiny and pretty again.

To clean coins, we use special tools like brushes, mild solutions, and even machines. These tools help us remove the dirt, grime, and other things that might make the coins look dull and dirty.

But why do we clean coins? Well, sometimes coins get really old and the dirt and grime can make it hard to see the details on them. Those details are important to people who collect coins, so they will clean them up to make them look nice again.

It's important to be careful when cleaning coins, though. Using harsh chemicals or scrubbing too hard can damage them and make them worth less money. So that's why it's best to carefully clean coins using gentle tools and solutions.

And that's it! Cleaning coins is just a way to make them look pretty again, so people can enjoy looking at them and learn more about history.
