Generally the juice which is the most acidic would clean coins better.


Lime juice is about as acidic as you'll find in a home kitchen. It has a pH of about 1.80 to 2.35 . Lemon Juice is also very acidic (2.00 to 2.60).

However, there's a standard caution about trying to clean coins. If a coin has ANY collector value, home cleaning will do enough damage to the coin's surface that it will be worth less than if it had been left alone.

If you have common circulation coins that are only worth face value, feel free to play around with different cleaners. But remember that if you get an old silver coin, or something like a 1909-S cent, even common household chemicals will affect the coin's surface and do a real number on its sale price.
