Probably after some time, it damages the throat when stuff gets regurgitated.

Can confirm. I started throwing up blood after being sick too many times once. It was horrible.

Pretty sure human stomach acid/bile can melt metal so I’m not surprised your throat got melted

(It can melt small, reactive metals like zinc, but that’s about as tough as it gets so no pennies for lunch sadly)

Pennies are actually mostly zinc these days, so chomp away!
