Swallowed a coin? Here's what you need to know.

Swallowed coins often pass through the gut on their own, but sometimes they get stuck in the esophagus and cause serious tissue damage. Swallowed coins can lodge in the windpipe (trachea) and cause choking. After a coin is swallowed, an x-ray is often performed to determine the location of the coin and help guide treatment recommendations.
