Default Coin in steering wheel???

So being as stupid as I am, I let a quarter fall through the slot in the left side of the steering wheel. It's stuck inside now and it rattles whenever I turn the steering wheel. How do I get this out without ruining the airbag??
Thanks

2005 accord EX V6 with Navsystem if that's relevant.

So did it get into the wheel or the "cover" behind the wheel - like where the light/wiper arm is?

My bad, I meant the nav system part being relevant. But the coin is like in the middle of the steering wheel where airbag is. There's that panel in the middle that pops off when the airbag comes out and that's where it is.

Please be careful and handle the air bag with care.....note the part about pulling the cable and waiting.

I'll probably pull the fuse to if I can. Don't want to have a coin shoved through my face.
