If metal touches the bottom of your motherboard will you fry it?

Hello so I've been keeping a motherboard from a HP computer to use in my build and I have been keeping it on a wood box and there is a small piece of metal in the center and the motherboard was sitting on top of it. So I was wondering did I just fry my motherboard? I now keep it in sitting on a dry towel in a cabinet. Thanks

If the motherboard was completely powered down, and the metal that touched it didn't transmit any static electric charges, then there is no danger.
But you are right to treat it carefully.
