You would set a coin in some type of liquid and leave it for a while. I think that might work.
CorrectionThe term "rust" refers to oxidation of ferrous metals, normally iron or iron-based metals like steel. Very few modern coins are made of iron or unplated steel so it's almost impossible to find one that will readily rust.If you can find an old 1943 US wartime cent, these coins were made of low-grade steel and coated with zinc. Scrape away some of the zinc to expose the underlying steel and leave the coin in a moist, dirty place for a long time to allow moisture to react with the steel.

Over time, this chemical reaction can cause the surface of the coin to corrode and develop a reddish-brown appearance.
