This can be a life threatening issue. If you have accidentally ingested a coin even if there are no symptoms, it is recommended to a doctor. The location and position of the coin can be detected by conducting an X-ray. Therefore, a visit to the gastroenterologist is recommended for further evaluation and treatment.
