Water doesn't react with the oxidation on the coin.
it doesnt melt, but it gets very clean!
It doesnt work very well.
Nope! Sorry. Water will not clean a penny. If a coin stays too long in water, it might rust.
no of course it doesnt, gosh
yes because all of the chemicals in the sodas can make a compound to clean the dirty penny!
What's crazy is that you can use anything to clean a penny. Water is probably the worst. Surprisingly, orange juice and Coke are very effective.(:
To clean any penny, try using ketchup and a toothbrush. After that, make a paste out of baking soda and water then lightly rubbing the penny with your thumb. For even better results, try using an eraser. Any type, it doesn't matter. Your penny should be nice and clean!
It would erode. despite the water is clean, water molecules would still be bouncing of the penny, and slowly destroy it over time.
Yes, but probably not verywell...use metal-wool
not many people
can gatorade clean a old penny
Vinegar is a weak acid. If I remember my chemistry lessons of 40+ years ago correctly the action of an acid on a dirty penny should produce some sort of salty substance and water and the penny will then appear clean.
