What type of liquid cleans a penny the best?

You are waiting for someone to tell you that Coka-Cola will clean a penny arent you?! Well it will! Try it for yourself if you dont believe me, just BE PATIENT with the experiment before you complain that it doesnt work & say I lied to you! Although Coke is not the best thing in the world to use if you want to clean a penny, (neither is it the cheapest). There are other liquids that will act in a similar way: Malt Vinegar, Lemon Juice, and various other household chemicals. Personally Id rather drink the Coke and stick the penny in a jar with some others! I would put a drink coke but not with the penny in it
