Reminds me of what Tim Conway said once. He was swimming to shore from his boat and was surrounded by sharks. He couldn’t understand why. After all, he was wearing his lucky ham.

Yep. My father worked for McDonnell Douglas doing final inspection before the airplanes flew. He had to make sure the intakes were clear of tools, etc., and there was nothing around that could get sucked in.

Usually that means foreign object debris
You're right, of course - Debris causes Damage.
I worked with a guy whose favorite saying was something to do with FOD - he used it frequently. I finally asked what he was talking about and he said it was from his Air Force days.

The staff managed to recover all the coins but the flight had to be cancelled due to safety concerns.

His good luck worked! The plane didn't crash.

Worked as engineer in MIL electronics. It was always about debris mucking up the system.

Oriental religious practices - deserve respect, reverence and performance.

Not just Oriental. Anything other than Judeo-Christian is revered and respected.

The engine is probably OK, but they were right to cancel the flight until it can be properly inspected. And they were right to arrest the idiot.

And all this time I thought bit coins came from some long and complicated computer process?

In the military (1966-1969) we were taught this was an act of sabotage.

Not to worry.
