@tin, yes acid. It should be substantially below mint spec on the weight.

As has been said - acid - specifically Nitric acid. I used to do this when teaching my chemistry classes to give the students an object lesson for remembering nitric acid dissolves metals.

A little longer soak and it would have ended up looking like a dissolved Alka Seltzer. LOL
Even silver can be disolved:
