the molasses doesn’t dissolve metal. It rips the oxygen from the oxidation. It’s fermentation reaction is oxygen hungry not metal hungry that’s the beauty of it. (It only ferments at above 20 degrees C)
Your coins should be fine.
here is some copper i experimented on and what it looked like after two weeks with no scrubbing
if you need a small amount I have some you can have. (it needs to be feed molasses not grocery store molasses that has preservatives in it)
Feed molasses can be found at Borden mercantile for 20$ for 12l

Nice! Sounds like it would work really well then. I remember now you mentioned it's the fermentation action that eats the oxides. I live near Borden Mercentile. So I'll drop by and pick some up when I get some time. That said, I've done a lot of brewing over the years, including ciders and fruit wines. Wonder if just making a small batch of wine with sugar would do the same thing? Maybe I'll give it a go. Some apple juice, sugar, water and yeast. I'll dump some coins in once it's bubbling....
