In the Periodic Table of Einstein the penny is cleaned by the fruit acid dissolving the copper oxide tarnish the tarnish is then washed away which then shows the true beautiful penny beneath! Or just use sand paper.Also when the acid reacts with the tarnish or whatever you have on the penny the acids reaction is it almost like eats off the tarnish and cleans the penny!
