I don't think the metal will hurt the turtles. HOWEVER, they could very well eat one of the coins (especially dimes or pennies) and the coins could get impacted in their digestive system, which could lead to death. Is there a way you could remove the coins?
BTW - There are other animals that are sensitive to metals in the water, such as aquatic frogs.
