If the coin is a valuable coin you shouldn't use anything acid or cleaner on it you will devalue the coin
Don't even THINK about trying to clean a coin with muriatic acid. It will damage the surface and any possible numismatic value will be lost.You'll have a very shiny coin that is only worth its face value.

To everyone out there who wants to why soda cleans a coin, is the Carbonic Acid in the soda eats away at the coin, so that all the dirt and stains fade away. : )Warning, WarningIf you have a coin that is even the slightest bit collectible, DO NOT TRY TO CLEAN IT. Any home chemicals, even mild ones, can damage the coin's surface and will reduce its value!
Any coin placed into an acidic liquid such as a cola drink, will eventually have all of the muck and grime burnt away by the acid. It will also destroy the finish of the coin and whatever collector value it may have had. You may as well drop it into sulphuric acid rather than spoil a perfectly good cola drink. If your coin has any collector value, do not clean it.
Visually you would see an effervescence in the acid where a gas appears to be being released from the metal coin. This is actually Hydrogen gas being released as part of the chemical reaction for example Iron (FE) mixed with dilute Hydrocloric acid (H2O & H-CL) would produce FE-CL and H2 and H2O

A coin would dissolve in an acid, not melt. The time taken would depend on the size of the coin, its composition, and the acid used.
