Hello! Thank you for writing! This is an emergency, you should go to the hospital. The doctor should rule it out. Don't wait even a minute more. As you aren't sure you can not wait for symptoms, visit a doctor a otorinolaringologyst for children. The coin can block your child's airway, do this is an emergency. Best regards.
