Coin Care: If you are not using a trolley coin key holder then be careful not to drop your coins. The key holders are designed to hold coins safely whilst inside a case or in an envelope. It is important not to leave coins in their case or envelopes for extended periods of time. Metal Trolley Coins: Die struck, brass, steel, caddie coin, aluminum, copper, or zinc alloys. Trolley Coin Holder: Made from either brass zinc or copper, please specify the exact coin size for the right model.

Cleaning Your Coins: Clean your coins regularly with a mild solution consisting only of water and soap. Do not use anything acidic or base; ideally a soft cotton cloth would do the job but not a plastic one as acid bases will eat away at the coin bezels. Do not use ammonia-based cleaners as these will etch the coin bezels. A damp cloth dipped into hot water gently cleans the coins. Do not use anything abrasive such as metal polishing pads or scouring powders as this will damage the coin bezels.
