Many years ago I came across a quarter that someone had nailed onto the sidewalk. In case someone’s looking for a less disturbing but still fun easter egg to leave for future people.
If you use aquarium silicone adhesive, they won’t be damaged, the adhesive is weather proof, and the silicone gives a flex and wiggle that prevents sheering. We had a dime stuck to our porch for 8 years and when it finally came up, it was because the concrete had eroded underneath it.
My dad taught that one to me in high school. He stuck $1.50 in random change to the ground in front of the soda machine at the apartments he was groundskeeper for. On slow days he’d sit and watch the local kids try desperately to get a free soda with money they can’t pick up.
I feel like glue wouldn’t last as long. I have no idea how long the nail was, but if it’s a couple of inches deep I have no idea how you’d be able to get it off without an angle grinder. With glue you can chip it off, or use solvent, or a blowtorch.
Salesmen at a local car dealership would super glue quarters to the parking lot. The porters and/or customers would always try to pick them up, and it brought us so much joy to watch.

Cursed. I love it. Even if someone did get it it would be well earned too.
You’d think the local kids would know better.
It occurs to me this would work better at a motel.
Nailed? Glue might be better. Like a gorilla glue or epoxy resin.

With epoxy resin it’s not going to come off without making you look like a crazy dude - which then would be totally my mission

Glue the finger rock to the ground, got it.
