A new penny is partially made from bright, shiny copper. But after a while, it loses its shine because the copper mixes with the oxygen in the air and makes a coating called an oxide. When you put the penny in lemon juice, the acid in the lemon chemically removes the oxide, and you're left once again with a bright copper penny.

100 penny makes a dollar. Every penny counts, my friend!
I have done this experiment on a penny. Yes it works, but it only works sometimes. I would give this three stars. If you want to shine coins, then you will have to find something else.
Lime Away contains acidic compounds, such as phosphoric acid, that break down and dissolve the oxides and mineral deposits on the surface of the penny. This reaction removes the tarnish and restores the penny to its original shine.
