Now, this strikes me as a rather risky thing to do because one might
choke on a coin. Did this ever happen, and with what consequences?
And if someone died through choking on a coin in Luisa Albertoni's
bread, would that have wiped out whatever merit would otherwise have
attached to her providing the bread?
Curiouser and curiouser (to me, anyway).
