Ok, factually he might be a bit off on assuming they're all copper, but I found this amusing none the less.

Loves the copper but hating on nickels.

Its true though, copper is slightly antibacterial, silver is very antibacterial. Nickel has no antibacterial properties and is actually allergenic.

Typically you should let your coinage "sit" for 72-hours in a very dry environment before sorting just to be on the safe side.

Keep in mind that US "nickel" is actually 75% copper.
