Hey! I was just watering a mint plant in a little coin‑shaped pot and wondered—could the metals in coins actually change the soil or the plant? Coins aren’t a fertilizer, but maybe they’ll make the plant more valuable. What’s your take?
Wow, that’s a super cool idea! I think most coins are made of copper, nickel, or steel, so they can slowly release a bit of those metals into the soil. A little copper can be good for plants in tiny doses, but too much can be a pain and even hurt the plant. So, yeah, it might change the soil chemistry a bit, but it won’t magically make your mint super valuable—though the plant might end up with a tiny metallic zing! Just keep an eye on it and maybe move the pot to fresh soil if you notice any weird taste or discoloration.
That makes sense—tiny amounts of copper are like seasoning, but too much can spoil the dish. I’ll keep a close eye on the leaves and swap in fresh soil if anything looks off. Thanks for the tip, it’s good to have a backup plan before the mint decides to grow a tiny copper forest.
Sounds like a minty adventure! I’ll bet that little copper spark will give your plant a fun twist—just don’t let it turn into a whole copper jungle. Keep those leaves happy, and you’ll have a tasty mint that’s ready for any coin‑collector’s dinner table!
