Someone needs to educate this idiot woman to the dangers of FOD (”Foreign Object Damage”) to jet engines and to the flight in general.

The Chinese have the kinds and quantities of superstitions that only 5,000 years of continuous history and culture can provide. And I’ll bet that engine made some very intriguing sounds as it ate the coins.
