I am putting scratch off tickets on the tables at my eparty. I got the cute glassine envelopes and I want to put a shiny penny in each one with the ticket itself....however I just went to Chase Bank to get 100 shiny pennies and the girl there told me they dont have new ones. She told me if I want I can buy copper cleaner and clean them myself.
Does anyone know where I can get 100 new pennys from?

Re: Shiny pennies?
could you soak them in something to clean them off?
I found that too. Googled 'shiny pennies' and that's what came up. It's the acid in the vinegar that removes the tarnish.
It's scary but true, I tried it when I heard that a while ago!!!

Re: Shiny pennies?
So, just an FYI -
after I cleaned all those pennies for my scratch-off favors I threw them in a ziplock and put them in the closet with the rest of my eparty stuff. I go back in there last night to start making them and all the pennies have turned BLACK!
I am not sure why, but they are jet black (as though they have been painted!).
I freakin' give up at this point.
I just wanted to let you guys know NOT to try to clean pennies with white vinegar and salt, lol!

Too funny.
Are you going to try the hot sauce now ? Noxon is a copper cleaner that you can find in hardware stores and some supermarkets. I use it on brass and copper.

Re: Shiny pennies?
I might if I have time. Although FH might start to think I'm nuts if I give cleaning them another go!
