Suggest Treatment To Remove The Swallowed Coin

My 5 year old daughter has swallowed a $2 coin. The school just rang to tell us so. She did not choke. How long does it take to pass through her stomach, she has dancing rehersals tomorrow and dance concert on Saturday night. Will she be okay. Thank You

I think a x ray should be done urgently to ascertain the position of the coin. Once the position is confirmed we can comment about the management.
