There was a woman not too long ago who went into an MRI wearing a butt plug with a metal core.

Here's a video of someone taking a handful of coins into an MRI.
Nothing happens, because coins in the US are made of non-ferrous materials.
The magnet is always on, mind you.
I've always wanted to be a frag grenade
I forgot to take my wallet out of my pants, and it was in the room. None of my cards worked in ATMs after that.
I have never had an MRI where you didn't completely change into a gown, in a separate room.
They were strict AF, CONSTANTLY asking about piercings, pacemaker, etc... even tattoos (are there metallic ink tattoos?).
How long ago was this?
US coins won't work you small ball bearings
Coins aren't magnetic though
Don't need to be. MRI will induce current in them which will make them magnetic.

Edit: for the pedants in the audience, I’m aware that they won’t be turned into permanent magnets. What I meant is that the electrons flowing through them will make them react to a magnetic field.
US ones aren't but other countries exist
It's at the same level as your comment if at all but go off.
Still pedantic
Yeah, this whole thread is pedantic, what's your point?
Oh, now I'm reading too much into it because I asked you what your point was? The math ain't mathing, broski. You're just mad someone replied to you matching your level of pedantry, aren't you. lol
