Yes BUTTTTT ....NEVER, EVER try to clean valuable coins to make them "look better". Dumping a modern penny in Coke to see what happens is a good chemistry experiment, but don't try it with an Indian penny from your grandfather's coin collection because it'll go from being worth possibly several dollars as a collectible, down to only a cent or two as a damaged coin.

Why would you get more water on a penny than rubbing alcohol?

Water has a higher surface tension than rubbing alcohol, which allows it to form a more cohesive droplet that can hold together better on the surface of a penny. Additionally, water is more polar than rubbing alcohol, leading to stronger adhesive forces between the water molecules and the penny's surface. This results in water being able to "stick" and accumulate more effectively than rubbing alcohol.
