Brown sauce cleans copper coins so that they shine like new.

Dropping a few coins in a glass of Coke (other brands of cola are available) has the same effect. The beauty is, you can just leave them there, so this is the ideal option for lazy buggers. Go back a day or two later, and BINGO!, you have nice, shiny one and two pence coins that you'll never use in any event, but that'll look great as you feed the CoinStar machine at the supermarket. Be the envy of your fellow shoopers!

ETA: it does make you wonder what Coke does to your insides....

Go to the pub with a packet of plain ol' Polo Mints in your pocket. Order a pint of lager. Drop a polo mint into your pint. Your pint stays fresh to the last sup' and you get a fresh minty taste to the last couple of swallys'.

Best thread of the season so far IMHO.
