The short answer is, do not clean your coins.

WARNING - There is no way you can clean a coin without damaging the finish and reducing or eliminating any collector value it may have.

If your coin has any collector value or you propose to sell it, you will damage the finish or lustre of the coin by cleaning it.

The British 1942 Florin has a 50% silver content. Some coin catalogues suggest that you might use soap and water very carefully on silver coins or, that there are professionals capable of cleaning coins.

If your coin has no collector value and you would just like to clean the crud off and make it shiny again, use a jewellery cleaner (which contains acid).
