Putting money in soap

[Lesley]

Hi,

I saw in Soap Story a picture of soap with money (coins) embedded. Is it safe tot do, or could there be any reaction from the coins with the ingredients of the soap (I use melt and pour soap)

I think from memory that the money is put into a see thru lip balm case before being put into the soap,

Personally, I wouldn't. Money is one of the most germ covered items in the world - I don't want any customer of mine rubbing that all over their body.

I doubt there'd be any reaction putting coins in M&P soap but you never know...
I wouldn't be overly worried about germs on coins, especially if you clean them well first.. after all you'd want to make sure they're all pretty and shiny!

Could you use plastic coins?

 

[Lesley]

Maybe wrapping them in plastic foil is an option. I'd like to try it as a wedding favor.

Excuse my ignorance... but what is plastic foil? I've never heard the term but maybe I know it as something else. Is it like cellophane? :shock:

Plastic foil is what most people use to wrap food in I couldn't find any other translation than this, I normally speak Dutch
