Anything acidic will clean pennies...like vinegar (which is an ingredient of taco sauce) will do it too...

guessing you didn't read it.

vinegar didn't clean it, but vinegar+salt (oddly enough that was my guess after he listed the ingredients) cleaned it.

Wow he had a pretty scientific method of deducing it was vinegar and salt.

Thanks, I didn't know this.

And for the value-conscious ones who didn't read the article, he used packets of taco bell sauce, which are free, if you're there already.

I've been using the stuff for years - to put on tacos, not to clean my pennies - and I NEVER noticed that the packets have humorous quotes on them. Looks like I'm going to taco bell for lunch to investigate.

the presence of funny quotes is only a recent development
