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.

Any day now we're going to see an advertisement where someone drinks water, dry instant noodles, and coins and walks to the MRI room (before being stopped to talk about some self cooking option)
