My dog ate a dime. Will he pass it safely? Should I be worried?

Question

Omg! My dog was chewing something he found on the floor and I opened his mouth didn't see anything. Few minutes later I see a dime on the floor! I instantly went into panic he could have ate a coin! If he did I feel like he wouldn't "chew" it. I honestly do not want to pay for an X-ray just bc I'm paranoid. I tend to do this about every little thing with my dog. Will he be ok? Can he pass it out? Pet's info: Dog | Australian Cattle Dog | Male | neutered | 8 months and 24 days old | 40 lbs

Thanks for asking this question! A 40 pound dog is big enough that he should be able to pass a dime. That being said if you notice any decrease in appetite, vomiting, diarrhea, or lethargy then he should be evaluated. I hope he does well!
