Myth that I always wanted to be tested

I remember being a kid and trying to think of myths that the mythbusters could test but one always stuck with me. In the movie Resident Evil afterlife the main character Alice loads the barrel of a sawed off shotgun with coins and then procedes to shoot them resulting in a spray of deadly coins. Link if anyone wanted to see what I'm taking about. https://youtu.be/sgsNqsykI4w It sucks they never tested anything like this

The quarters that she used would never fit into any shotgun shell. Even a big 10 gauge is only 0.775 in. A quarter is 0.955 in. I think she's using a 12 gauge though, which is even smaller at 0.725 in. Even a nickel and penny would've been to big for that. Penny is 0.75 in, and a nickel is 0.835 in. Now a dime, that's the ticket. At just 0.705 it would work very well.
