I super glued a coin to the ground at school. How do I get It off?
I did this for april fools day. Now I'm afraid I'm going to get in trouble for vandalism. It was only a small joke. :( But now I just want to take it off. :( I have already tried the nail polish remover. (I am at home and I glued two cent coins together and left them in nail polish remover for like 10 minutes)

I used a lot of glue. I don't care whats left behind just as long as the coins not there.

put a potato on it the acids and starch will eat up the super glue
take something like a spatula or something flat. If you used super glue this will take some effort and time. Use the saptula and try to flip the coin off the ground. Good luck and april fools day : )
Go to a hardware store and get a can of 100% acetone, it will get rid of the super glue and should not damage anything including the coin. Acetone is used by coin collectors to remove glues and greases from coins with no damage.
acetone - nail polish remover - not the gently on the hands type - but the harsh pure acetone type - read the label... and paint thinner might work too - any spirits stuff you find in the hardware store might work
my mom used to glue her fingers together as a regular problem when doing crafts and fixing things - I think she did it for attention, but anyway, it will eventually wear off of skin
you can try some rubbing alcohol. Gas will get ANYTHING out, but that would surely raise quite a stink. If I were you I would try to pry it off, find something that will fit under it, maybe some fishing string, and pull hard. How well does glue really stick to a coin anyway?
I hope you do not get in trouble, and hopefully you learned your lesson!
