"Stuck" Coin Prank

$\"Stuck\" Coin Prank$

This is a simple prank. A person is walking down the street and they notice a gold dollar coin on the ground. They bend over to pick up the coin up. They are shocked when it just wont seem to budge! Try as they may the coin will not move. They stand up confused, disappointed and some what embarrassed. =)

Superglue lasts long enough and it is much cheaper. Me and my friends superglued a coin to a table at school and it took nearly a year for people to get it off with knifes but I expect it would last a lot longer on the street also you could glue it to the footpath not just on grates or drains.

What kind of school do you go to where the students carry knives???

hahaha true they might of just used their compass's but the table had heaps of scratch marks around it

You're telling me the school is so big that you need a compass to find your way around? Nice try, but I don't think I'm believing that.

i think he meant the tool used to draw circles...

Dec 11, 2010. 5:51 PMMr. Potato Head says:

Nah. We used compasses in scouts. They have a little needle that always points north and helps you find your way when you get lost.

why not just superglue it to the manhole cover ? In the US under a dollar and not trying to counterfit it to be something great than it is is not illegal. We've all probably seen the penny smasher to a charm thing.

I considered using super glue but I wanted a more permanent mechanical solution.
