Abstract

We report an unusual case of acute copper intoxication in a patient who died after swallowing more than 700 coins mainly of 1p and 2p denomination. At autopsy the liver showed fibrosis and extensive copper deposition was demonstrated in the histological sections. Electron probe microanalysis also confirmed the presence of copper in the hepatic tissue.
