As noted...small coins could cause great damage or total engine failure if they are sucked into an aircraft’s engine.

I’m no aviation expert, but are there no screens to prevent bits of debris from entering the engine?

A small piece of metal caused the concord crash in France in 2000.
Foreign object debris (FOD) can cause damage that costs airlines and airports millions of dollars every year. FOD is any object that does not belong in or near airplanes and, as a result, can injure airport or airline personnel and damage airplanes.
I do IT support for a company at an airport I have been on FOD walls looking for any small object that the engine could damage the engine.

"Three coins in a turbine..."
People who work on them have told me that jet engines have long been amazingly rugged (and safe) but nobody in their right mind gets lax about foreign objects and debris around them.

While boarding, I will pause at the threshold and kiss my palm and place the kiss on the door frame. Just for luck. But coins? Into the engine??!! Holy carp.

When I was in the Navy there was an incident on a carrier where planes were having unexplained FOD damage. It turns out there was a cook tapeing pennies to the back of the fan blades.
