Hi Jay,

My understanding is that people like to use coins because they have a larger 
surface area then wire. The greater the surface area, the more CS you can 
produce in a given amount of time. I don't think that one will work better 
(produce a better product) then the other. It's just a volume vs. time thing.

Hope this helps

I'm about 2 years behind on bringing this up but 
everything just registered. So to my question. I remember 
reading that 
the choice for silver coins had 2 reasons. 
1)  precious metal 
2 ) ability to kill pathogens
 
But how could it kill pathogens if the size of a coin is much 
bigger than 
the size of the stuff I make.So does the size really have have something 
to do 
with it?
