Does Accidental Swallowing Of Coin Causes Any Immediate Reaction Into The Body?

My two year old daughter swallowed a pound coin on monday. The hospital said it will come out in 48-72 hours but if not out in a week then it will need urgently removing surgically. After five days the hospital have now said it will okay for another week and the doctors said it will okay for ten more days inside her. is this true or does it need removing asap?
