I have a penny beside me soaking in Hydrogen Peroxide. after about half an hour it gained some small bubbles all over the penny, you would think being copper the penny would oxidize and turn green. This does not appear to be happening yet, however, it may be that the penny has an oxide protection covering it - either that or it would take more time.

Why not try it your self and see?

Hydrogen Peroxide is available at nearly every grocery store and I am sure you have a penny or two laying around.

Orange Juice contains citric acid, citric acid has a cleaning effect to it. Orange juice would presumably clean a penny.
