He should have used bit coins

If he threw them into a non spinning fan, probably no big deal.
If he managed to get one into the core, big deal.

something of value has to be tossed into the engine for it to work. Silly superstition.

What is the engine worth? Two million dollars at most.

It is called Fung Shui. A type of Geomancy.
The HK/Singaporean author Nury Vittachi wrote a really funny, very non PC series of books called “The Fung Shui Detective,” which absolutely skewered the belief. FUng Shui generally makes Astrology look good.

I remember those Wednesday afternoon choir classes.....
“Three coins in the airplane engine
Each coin looking for a home
Tearing up an aircraft engine
Let’s throw Wang out over Nome.”
