Had a friend that used to glue down quarters just out of reach of someone sitting on the toilet. It was just far enough you had to get up and bend over to pick it up. Pretty funny I thought.

I have seen common base metal dollar coins Araldited to the pavement. Since they are common circulating coins, no value is lost if you damage them on removal. A sharp blow with a hammer and cold chisel will remove them. The U.S Trade Center in Sydney had about 20 or so Morgan dollars cemented into the face of supporting columns on the facade of their office. They were heavily damaged but not removed, because each of them had a spike silver soldered onto the coin which penetrated deeply into the reinforced concrete of the column. |

When I was in high school, quarters were commonly glued near doorways. It seems that when people pull open doors, they look down and then they have to try to hold the door open and pick up a coin that doesn't come up.

I've never seen an example of it but that's pretty funny.

i got to thinking about it, when I was a kid, there was a little store I used to go into when i'd visit family near Fayetteville NC- the had a rack of different gag's and magic tricks things like exploding cigarette loads, joy buzzers, and Buffalo nickels with a roofing nail soldered to the back- just hammer it in the floor, wasn't going to come up easy- I bought a few and took the to the fishing pier at the beach when I was about 8 or 9  very funny to watch  |

The one dealer told me a story about an old couple.
Grammy stopped and called grampy back...There's a quarter under my foot...pick it up.
an effort later and said coin is glued to the floor.
At least 4 store vendors watching and laughing.
Grampy gets up and starts screaming at Grammy for making a fool out of him and stormed off (The language was not nice from what I was told) leaving her standing there.
Although it sounds funny, I find that making a fool out of somebody just so you can get a laugh isn't right and downright bad Mojo

I saw some neat coins in the concrete while passing an "Arabian Nights" style ride at Disneyworld. I think they were from early Pakistan. My wife was so busy that even stopping to look was like an insult to her! As Rodney Dangerfield loves to say, I don't get no respect.

I worked at a out door mall and someone glued a quater to the sidewalk in the middle of the mall
so many people tried to pick it up it got crazy, I saw kids fight to get to it, Old people get angry it would not come up. During christmas time of all times right directly out infront of the store I worked at to. One time it cuased a huge crowd people almost trampled each other to get to the coin first .the next day or two the mall janitor had to come remove it becuase it cuased such a slow of traffic

Used to do that all the time. One not so funny place myself and others have glued a coin down is in the middle of a walkway accross a bussy street. Right by a revolving door, either on the floor or on the door itself, at a busy store. Natually done at night so not to many witnesses. There are a lot of fun places to glue a coin if you have the nerve. A police car's bumper or tire for example.
When we were kids we did all sorts of things with coins. Find a dogs turd and place a Nickel on it gets some odd readtions too.

The first time I fell victim to the joke it was an old walker at the end of an aisle in an antique store. My wife saw it first and I was on it like a bulldog on a pork chop. Three other guys watched and laughed. The second time it was an Ike. Been there, done that! I'll still bend down and try to pick it up. Always got the coin or the bill every other time.

Now I want to bring a small jar of acetone with me when I go around, in case I find a glued coin :)

mr.wisker, I could not agree with you more. Entertainment at someone else's expense is not humorous.
