The short answer is, do not clean your coins.
WARNING - There is no way you can clean a coin without damaging the finish and reducing any collector value it may have.
Some coin catalogues suggest that you might use a soft brush on copper or bronze coins and, that there are professionals capable of cleaning coins.
If your coin has no particular value and you just want it to look nice and shiny, you could use any of the commercially available jewellery cleaners.
