In a similar incident, a 36-year-old man in Rajasthan’s Jodhpur consumed 63 coins of Rs 1, apparently in a state of depression. Upon examination, doctors found a metallic lump in his stomach. A team of doctors at the MDM Hospital then removed the coins from his stomach in a two-day-long operation, with the help of an ‘endoscopic procedure’.
