When I was a little girl my Dad gave a friend and me a quarter. My friend put hers in her mouth and accidentally swallowed it. We went crying to my Dad and all he said was, "Don't worry, it'll all come out in the wash." It just so happened my Mom was washing clothes that day (using the old Maytag wringer washer). We followed her all day looking for that quarter and could never figure out how it would get from her stomach to the wash.
