What type of juice best cleans coins?

Answer 1

Distilled water.

Anything else you have at home will do more harm than good. It's like taking sandpaper to an antique desk or spraying Krylon on that 200-yr-old painting of great-granddad.

Bottom line: Don't try to clean coins yourself.

Answer 2

Generally the juice which is the most acidic would clean coins better.

Lime juice is about as acidic as you'll find in a home kitchen. It has a pH of about 1.80 to 2.35 . Lemon Juice is also very acidic (2.00 to 2.60).

BUT:There's a standard caution about trying to clean coins. If a coin has ANY collector value, home cleaning will do enough damage to the coin's surface that it will be worth A LOT less than if it had been left alone.

If you have common circulation coins that are only worth face value, feel free to play around with different cleaners. But remember that if you get an old silver coin, or something like a 1909-S cent, even common household chemicals will affect the coin's surface and do a real number on its sale price.

Answer 3

Coca-Cola is acidic with a pH ranging from 2-4. With such a low pH level, resting a coin in Coca-Cola will result in most materials on the coin to dissolve.

Answer 4

Well, in primary school we experimented with coins and Coke and that seemed to work so I'd try Coke.
