Have you ever handled coins, keys, tools, or another metal object and noticed a strange metallic smell lingering on your fingers?

Surprisingly, you may not be smelling the metal itself. In this episode of Why Stuff Happens, Hope explores the fascinating chemistry that occurs when metals such as iron or copper react with perspiration and the natural oils on your skin.

Discover how this reaction creates volatile molecules that your nose interprets as metallic, why blood can produce a similar scent, and whether stainless-steel "soap" really removes strong food odors better than ordinary soap and water.

The next time you smell metal on your hands, remember: you may actually be smelling your own chemistry in action.
