Ann, I'm afraid that you just poked one of my big linguistic peeves.
Do the lenses smell like toothpaste? If so, they are minty.
Are they in perfect condition, like a coin that has just been released

(They wouldn't have been if they were mine. ) I have a few linguistic
peeves of my own, but it actually
