Do you ever worry about the state of health of the change in your pocket? Does it ever concern you that millions of germs are covering your precious coins? Well we may be able to help you out with our science investigation on how to clean those dirty coins!
In our investigation we will experiment with several different sodas on different sorts of coins for different periods of time. We will then put the coins under a microscope to see if there is any noticeable difference between the coin before and after.
Millions of disgusting coins lurk in the pockets of millions of americans. But you can’t clean them with just any fast and efficiently with just any household product. You can use this one product that almost every American has this in their house! Soda! Our interest in this myth is to see if you can really clean a dirty coin with just some soda laying around the house.
Coca cola is made of carbonated water, high fructose corn syrup, caramel color, phosphoric acid, natural flavors, caffeine. Most of those ingredients are also in other popular sodas; sprite, diet coke, and many others. 1885 Charles Aderton invented "Dr. Pepper" in Waco, Texas. 1886 Dr. John S. Pemberton invented "Coca-Cola" in Atlanta, Georgia. Are two inventors of popular sodas.
In our investigation, we will be cleaning dirty coins with soda. We will also be seeing what soda can clean the coin the fastest. We will be using Coca Cola, Diet Coke, Sprite, Pepsi, Dr. Pepper, and carbonated water on quarters, dimes, nickels, and pennies.
The questions we have about our investigation are, how long will it take to clean the coin? Or, will it even dissolve or erode the coin? Another question that came up was can you even clean your coins with soda? As we investigate the problem, we hope to find answers to our questions.
We now need to find out our problem statement. Can soda clean a coin and if so, what soda can clean what coin the fastest?

Hypothesis
The soda will get cleaner after the experiment has been completed because soda has carbonated water which can help clean things and coins.
