Hello:) The increased area of the coin should be great, but... Is not the silver in most coins "sterling", and would them contain nickel=poison? Also relativly unrefined silver has a long history of driving silver-smithes mad, from mercury poisoning. Poorly refined silver is often very high in mercury content... So, it might be a good idea to make sure that the coin has only .999 or better pure-silver listed as 100% of its content.

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 Andy (^_^) From: Jay Ice Date: Sun, 25 May 2003 21:33:59 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?
