Yup that is indeed what would happen. But the panel of the clean up crew needing therapy is missing
Eh. Depends on the coins. If they’re made of ferromagnetic metals, sure.
Not all coins are.
My thought was they would just heat up.
Yeah, from what I have heard, given a random unknown metal, the odds are significantly greater that heating up is the concern rather than it being pulled out. Either one is a pretty bad day though.
I’ve forgot small copper coin in my pocket and gone to mri and I’ll tell ya what) coin was HOT and slightly pulled so it fell off my pocket, i was scarily surprised because I’ve checked my pockets as I’ve been instructed and metal detector didn’t singled either
There actually was a guy who wore a buttplug with a metal core in an MRT. The plug shot through his body like a high velocity bullet and was stopped by his sternum. He survived with severe internal injuries and sued the company selling the plug.
If the plug was advertised as being pure latex or whatever, then fair enough.
Yeah, that was exactly the case. Still weird to think “hey, I have this medical check-up today, better wear my best plug!”
Maybe they forgot? Lol
Coming up next on Mythbusters…
The comics here seem to be getting worse every day.
Kids these days dont know coins are not magnetic
If the coins are magnetic that’s what would happen. But if you’re going to violently tear a hole in your abdomen, the hospital is where you want to do it. I’d say there’s a fair chance you survive and live a medically complicated life
I think your chances of surviving this are similar to your chances of surviving a shotgun blast to the stomach… Even in a hospital it’s not good
y tho

Dumb ways to die. So many dumb ways to die…
Duuuumb ways to di-i-ie Soooo maaaany dumb ways to die
Copper and nickle are magnetic?
I have shrapnel in my leg, it’s copper and brass, and I have had MRIs with no ill effects. Fucks up some CAT scans and xrays, but only if they are scanning that leg. It’s so small, though, that modern metal detectors don’t register it anymore.
i kinda want this to be the punishment for proven/repeat conviction child molesters.
I don’t think most coins are magnetic. They might get rather hot tho
Wouldn’t the coins also potentially become deadly projectiles
Ferrofluid would be interesting In this situation.
Do it with nails. (Most) Nails are made of steel. You likely won’t make it anywhere near the MRI bed before they start doing their thing though
Ferromagnetic marble would be easier to swallow.
Oh, I’m going for damage.
