Dropped a quarter into the steering column.....problems??

The other night I was at the Sonic drive-in to get a burger on the way home from work. I had the money to pay the car-hop on the dash above the steering column. When I tried to pick up the change, I fumbled it and a quarter fell and slid down into the steering column and disappeared. It did not come out the bottom. I moved the steering wheel up and down as much as possible, but it still did not fall out.

Is this going to be a problem down the road? Do I need to get busy and figure how to get it out of there? Hopefully it won't short any wires.

Thanks for your help.......

Steve

Thumbs up Dashboard savings account

Probably landed on top of the assy. Take out the two screws of the knee blocker and then it's four nuts to ease column down. Unless you don't want to worry about it of course. Pictures HERE.
