That's "harmful" with one L, and the answer is, not by a long shot unless you bite down on it hard and crack a tooth!
Mercury (with a capital M) is the nickname given to this design because the winged liberty cap worn by Miss Liberty looks a lot like the hat worn by the Greek god Mercury.
The name has nothing to do with the coins containing the metal mercury, any more than a pineapple is a cross between a spruce and a golden delicious.
In fact, all Mercury dimes are made of 90% silver and 10% copper so at a minimum they're worth about a dollar, and possibly a lot more for certain rare dates and mint marks.
