I inserted a memory card into the wrong slot on the monitor of my iMac. It disappeared into the monitor. How do I get it out?

It sounds like you may have put an SD camera card into the SuperDrive slot.
If that is the case, then see > https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hpwDfpH4hR0
What year iMac are you referring to? It must be a 2011 or earlier as that would be impossible to do on anything after that.
You can remove the RAM door and attempt to shake it out however I suspect you will need to disassemble the computer. I've NEVER heard of anyone doing that with a RAM card.
However I am thinking you mean you lost a SD card in the Superdrive, is that correct? If that is the case look on Youtube.com and you can find lots of videos on how to remove it.
Brilliant. Many thanks for the solution and for the link to the video.
You’re welcome.
