This might or might not be a "science" question depending on how you do it.
If you just look up some ways to clean pennies and write that up, that's not really science (though it is "research").
If you want this to be a science experiment, you would want to make a hypothesis about what methods might work and run an experiment to test that. Try a number of different methods of cleaning (both the ones you think will work best and some others, as well as a "control" such as plain water) and do experiments to measure how well each of them works. The science there would be in determining the best methods, and your research paper could focus on why each of the selected methods works.
It might also be interesting to look for something in common among the effective methods, such as "they're all acids" or "they all have a certain enzyme" or whatever.
