Water doesn't react with the oxidation on the coin.
it doesnt melt, but it gets very clean!
It doesnt work very well.
Nope! Sorry. Water will not clean a penny. If a coin stays too long in water, it might rust.
no of course it doesnt, gosh
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.(:
Yes, but probably not verywell...use metal-wool
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.
can gatorade clean a old penny
not many people
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.
