The best thing is soak it a while in a detergent and water solution then scrub lightly to remove stuck on dirt. Finally rinse in plain water to remove the detergent.
Anything more aggressive could expose the inner zinc core, damaging the coin.
Yes windex can clean a penny, I did a science project on it in 8th grade, and windex cleans pennies better than salt water and vinegar. It cleans a penny because it has ammonia in it which can cause some sort of chemical reaction with the copper which in turn keeps the penny clean
To clean any penny, try using ketchup and a toothbrush. After that, make a paste out of baking soda and water then lightly rubbing the penny with your thumb. For even better results, try using an eraser. Any type, it doesn't matter. Your penny should be nice and clean!
u don't, u drink the coke, then spend the penny
I think the vinger
Clean beakers.
The penny will get clean i did that in science class and in less than 2 minutes the penny became clean

I am doing this as a science fair project and I really need to find out how milk cleans pennies. Thanks.
can gatorade clean a old penny
Tomatoes are highly acidic, which after some time would break down the dirt and things that are on the penny. This would cause it to come out looking clean.
you should clean a penny wit Lemon Juice.
i did a science project on it and all it did to the penny was stain it but i dont know because i just let it sit in the coca cola but maybe if you scrubed it with something maybe be but i tested it and it just stained it
Yes mountain dew can clean a penny because there are acids in the formula. towards the penny and an acid can clean a pennny..You can also use toothpaste on a cottan ball or ketchup. Using an acid to clean a penny will destroy the collecting value of the coin.
It will clean the penny. :)

A very clean penny
That sounds like a good science experiment. Nobody has really studied how sodas clean things, so you should get 3 glasses and put Sprite in one and Coke in another and plain water in the last one. Drop a penny into each glass and measure how clean it gets after each day until one penny is totally clean.
