I have number of silver coins - but pure silver - in water containers, like the water filter, tea kettle, coffee machine ect.
Also one in a tin of Nivea hand cream, the silver ions are supposed to go into the cream.
Hard to tell how effective all that is, but at least it doesn't do any harm.
Fun fact: the coins stay in perfect condition, even after years in water.
