Acetone i guess. It depends on why you're cleaning it.

DON'T clean your coins, unless you have no choice. Go to the archives here and see how many say NO NO NO for cleaning any coin! If you are metal detecting, a gentle rinse in warm distilled water may help, but you can still damage just with the handling.
