A fast-food cup leaked in my car, and the soda dried on the coins. I then put them in a cup of water to try to get the soda to dissolve, which it did for the most part. Now they're all... oxidized? I don't know if that's the right word. Anyway, I was hoping there was a simple answer that didn't involve expensive polish for collecter coins. These are just normal pocket change coins. Thanks!

Try a solution of salt and white vinegar. Let them soak for a bit.

Soak them in whatever common household kitchen degrease for a day or so. Rinse them, dry them then take them down to your local coin star.

Any acid will clean them. Vinegar, coke, pepsi, or lemon juice should work. It may take a day or two.

You can also use CLR...that's short for calcuim, lime, and rust. Works great. But, Coke and Vinegar are cheaper!
