How do I clean those Gold George Washington dollar coins?

Filed under: Hobbies & Crafts — Tags: , , — @ 8:27 pm

Some of my gold George Washington dollar coins are getting tarnished and I am wondering what would be the best way to get them to a spiffy shine yet again. Don’t bother suggesting coca-cola or lemon juice – I tried those already and they just ended up with this corrosive finish instead of golden. =/

Any advice would be helpful.
I do understand that cleaning coins reduces their value to collectors. However, I am using them as props and am not retaining them for their collectors’ value.

What was the benefits(intended or actual) in removing the gold standard from the U.S. dollar?

Also, what happened to all of that gold?
