My Sainted Mother told me about all this decades ago, and I took it to
heart. But, one question nags: How long does a coin have to be in my
collection before it ceases to be toxic?

Coins never stop being toxic -- they are almost entirely composed of
heavy metals, and everyone knows the heavy metal elements are poisonous.
In fact, it's more dangerous to be in a collection since coins in
circulation have the metals gradually worn away removing the poison.

However, all is not lost. I am specially trained in the handling of
dangerous coins. Just send them to me and I will keep them from causing
you any harm. Be sure to package them well -- we don't want any
dangerous coins lost who knows where. (I can also protect you from the
fecal bacteria contamination on paper money, send any suspicious paper
notes along as well.)

Your magnanimity is exceeded only by your pulchritude.

O.K. thank God! Somebody is watching out for our well being. I have a lot of currency I'd like to send and dispose of properly. I also have a lot of coins too.
Where do I send them? I'm glad you took the time to warn people and have the patience to dispose of these harmful items. Please let me know how to send them too
you? Thanks again!
