Lilah, our Scientist of the Week, wanted to know: What is the best way to clean a penny? Good question, now we want to know too!  Lilah came prepared with a couple of different options and lucky for us we each got to try them out.  You may find some cleaner pennies around your house this weekend!
Check out the scientific method for this experiment and be sure to try it at home.

Conclusion
Vinegar and salt worked the best.  After only 11 seconds the pennies in vinegar and salt were noticeably cleaner.  And after a little scrub they were shiny like new.  We are going to leave them over the weekend to see if they get even shiner!
