Why do people clean their coins with a brillo pad?

Because it is handier than the sandpaper out in the garage?

So they all match?

They want to use something more subtle than a drill with a wire brush on it.

It's easier than steel wool because the blue soap is included.

Because Brillo spent a wad on advertising while SOS merely sent smoke
signals...

Have you ever noticed how the cheap, paper backed sand paper from
Wally World falls apart after you get it wet? I tried some of the
more expensive sand paper that is made for wet applications, but
that stuff is to expensive for my blood.... Then I tried emery cloth
but I had to sand too much of the Morgans away....... So then I
tried the brillo pads, and that stuff works good!

Nah, not me. When my childhood interest in coin collecting resurfaced
earlier this year, I dug up the Eisenhowers I got in my Christmas
stockings in the early 70's and went down to the basement to spiff
them up with my Black & Decker Wizard. It gave 'em a "cool" kind of
shine! After joining a local coin club and learning that this coin
cleaning experiment was not such a bright idea after all, those Ikes
were promptly demoted to my 5-year-old's Whitman folder ...
