Coke will NOT dissolve a penny, it's not strong enough. Nor will it dissolve a nail. Many urban legends say that coke will do many things but technically, it's pH level isn't acidic enough enough for it to dissolve anything more than the corrosion on a battery terminal and it doesn't do that very well either.
