#09 Polishing Money Until It Shines ①
Hello!
It's Heidi from within♪
If something makes your heart excited, you should try it♪
So, I started doing something a little while ago.
That is polishing money (coins) until they shine✨
thing.
◇The Trigger
One day, Tamiko Ishimatsu, the organizer of the online community "ROOT48" that I participate in, picked up a one-yen coin.
She said she donated it to a shrine, praying for the good fortune of the person who dropped that one yen. (How lovely♡)
Then, a few days later, she said she picked up a ten-yen coin!
I couldn't help but comment,
"It increased tenfold!"
Tamiko-san,
thinking it would be boring to just donate that ten-yen coin to a shrine,
this time,she polished that ten-yen coin until it was shiny and then donated it she said.
The parent of a one-yen coin is a ten-yen coin,
the parent of that is a hundred-yen coin,
the parent of that is a five-hundred-yen coin,
and the parents of that are thousand-yen, five-thousand-yen, and ten-thousand-yen bills.
If you treat the children well, the parents will be happy, right?＾＾
If I polish the small change until it's shiny and clean, won't the bills be happy and come to me too?
Besides, wouldn't it become a rumor among the money?
"If you go to that person's place, they'll polish you until you shine♪"
"Wow! I want to go too!"
"Me too!" "Me too!" "Me too!"
Listening to Tamiko-san talk about this on her "Tuning Live" which she streams every morning at 8:30 on RadioTalk, I got so excited.
In my brain,
"Oh my, you all want to go?
Well then, shall Mom and Dad come along too?😊"
I could see the scene of the bills coming along too... lol
I just have to do it!
◇Actually trying it
I gathered the coins in my house,
and selected the ones that were particularly dirty as representatives.
◇How I made them shiny◇
I buried them in a fairly concentrated baking soda solution, lol,
added citric acid, and let them fizz! Then I let them sit for a while.
→ Polished them with a brush.
When soaking them, I divided them into:
・The 10-yen and 5-yen team
・The 500-yen, 100-yen, 50-yen, and 1-yen team
I searched for other methods and found many, so
the next day, I soaked them in a citric acid solution for a while, added baking soda, and polished them after they fizzed.
The 5-yen (brass) and 10-yen (bronze) coins became very clean just by soaking them in the citric acid solution!
◇ The results... Before and After

After
They became incredibly clean!
The coins are happy!!!
(This is just my personal opinion)
◇ Thoughts while polishing the coins
I was thinking while I was polishing them~
You have passed through so many people's hands to get to me, becoming this dirty.
Each time, you have contributed to those people's happiness.
Whenever money moves, it is always being exchanged for something, and at that moment, it is helping someone get what they want, solve a problem, or bring them joy.
It's not about the amount of money.
A 1-yen coin and a 10,000-yen bill have the same role, don't they~
I'm so grateful~♡
Thank you~♡
I don't know why... but in terms of how much I like money,
my preference for bills > coins has shifted to feeling they are equal!
As a result, I feel like I've become friends with money!
Then, immediately, there was some movement regarding money!
And it wasn't just one or two things!
I'll write about what happened next time.
