Nope! Sorry. Water will not clean a penny. If a coin stays too long in water, it might rust.
Water doesn't react with the oxidation on the coin.
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 a penny with coke, simply drop the penny into a small bowl of coke and let it soak for a few minutes. Then, scrub the penny gently with a cloth or toothbrush to remove any dirt or tarnish. Rinse the penny with water and dry it with a clean cloth.
Make a paste with baking soda and water, scrub with soft toothbrush and rinse-that is better.

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.
Mix a tablespoon of vinegar with a pinch of salt in a small bowl. Dip the penny in the mixture and rub gently with a cloth or your fingers to remove the dirt and grime. Rinse the penny with water and dry it with a soft cloth.
Yes, baking soda can be used to clean a penny. When mixed with water, baking soda forms a paste that can help remove dirt and tarnish from the surface of the penny. However, it is important to gently rub the penny to avoid scratching or damaging it.

If you are hoping to increase its value don't do it. If it is a regular coin put it in soapy water and clean it.
