Nickel's reaction with stomach acid is very violent. Nickel is one of the main components in British and American coins because of its long half life. However if ingested it will cause a violent reaction that can cause vomiting or, in some cases, tearing of the stomach lining. When nickel enters the intestines or any further in the digestive tract then reactions are insignificant because of the neutralization of acid at the beginning of the absorption process by bile. DO NOT ingest any nickel substances and seek medical advice immediately if it has.
