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.

Does sprite clean pennies better than coke?

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.
