Compressed air or a dip in acetone should take care of any surface contamination.

Yes, same stuff you use on your keyboard. don't hold it to close too long are it will condesate on the surface of the coin from the temperature differential between the cold air from the can and the warmer ambient temperature of the coin. Just give it a quick blast from about 8" away. PS: if holding coin by edges, hold tightly.
The only way to make an economic system truly stable is to permit the free market to take over.

We used to have one of those for sucking snot out of the baby's nose. Make sure you don't get a hold of one of those, no telling what will blow out of it.

It should take just about anything off the coin that you want offed.

My advice as well as compressed air, even the stuff in the can for computers, often has a lubricant which can spatter your coins.
Just be SURE that the bulb is ONLY used for coins.
