What does this mean? I thought you can't get close with any ferrous metal whatsoever. If it beeps, you're not allowed in. It's not like in an airport where "oh it's just a coin".


No, you can.

Belts, buckles, bra etc are fine on staff.

A coin is a problem. Hip or knee joint replacement and various screws and plates are fine (some contain some iron).

Like all bad answers, the answer as to whether it’s ok in the scan room is ‘it depends’.


Metal detectors can detect nonferrous metals too.
