Bear with this dumb American but a quid is a regular coin isn't it?

It probably didn't hurt anything and if you meant a register for air in the car it can't get into the engine.

You may be able to just remove some vent hoses and get it out.
Some may just pull and some may look like the snorkel type hose in the back of a clothes drier, Bet you will be OK without doing anything, T

i've droped alot of things down them air vents. change sockets paper clips screws you name it. it wont hurt. one time i had a garden snake come out of the one on the floor. about gave my mom a heart attack. as long as you don't say nothin i'm sure it will save some hide on you back side though. i know how mothers get.
