How do I get a coin out of my washing machine barrell?

I have a coin lodged inbetween the barrell of my electrolux washing machine. Could anyone tell me how I can get this out. This has happened before and the repair man got it out - I can't recall how and would like to save a few dollars as this machine is slowly starting to cost me in repairs to what I paid for it....

simply spend time searching for coin and once you have found it take it out of the "drum".

It is probably between the seal and the drum as that would be the most obvious place to look if you cannot see it when looking inside machine drum.

It is unwise to wash coins or anything similar in a clothes washing machine. You can clean coins by using metal polish and a cloth.
