Why not take the pennies out and try the lettuce method? It is better than just plainly killing the snails. Think about it: You kill all of these snails. Now what??? They rot, that's what. It is like having a bunch of dead fish just sitting in the bottom of your tank.
What you do is run a lettuce leaf, or several, under some hot water just before you shut the light off. Leave it, or them, in the water all night and take it out in the morning along with all of the snails on it. You might have to stick it under something so it does not float. I found this method by searching for 'snails in aquarium' on Google. The first link, which was aquaticcommunity, was the one I clicked on. Good luck.
