sfgate;"Thailand - It was almost like breaking open a piggy bank. Doctors performing emergency surgery on a man who was rushed to hospital writhing in pain were stunned when more than 4.2 pounds of loose change spilled out of his stomach. 37year old male, who has a history of mental disorders, lives with his mother, has been swallowing the coins for a long time without her knowledge. "He is in safe condition. But he has to be in the hospital for some time in case of side effects because the metal coins had been in his body for a long time. The coins had turned black from stomach acid. He was in excruciating pain and was taken to a hospital, where an X-ray showed hard objects in his stomach. They weren't identified until the surgery."
Well I laughed my butt off on this one, think we all have swallowed a coin or two when we were little. Remember, when your mother always told you to take those penny's out of your mouth because you might sallow them, LOL. Well guess this guy's mother should of told him this too! Don't you think?
