Coins for the taking - or maybe not

A few days ago, we travelled to Kalgoorlie by train. We first caught an Uber at the gateway to our village. We arranged to meet him at the bus-stop where it’s easy to park. We were only there for less than a minute and buses were few and far between at that hour.
While waiting for the Uber, I took this photo. Someone/s have stuck coins to the seat in the bus-stop. At first, there was just one coin but there are now several. I think they must be super-glued to the wood as they are very firmly attached. I wonder if one day someone will glue a note to the seat.

They must have thought it would be funny for people to bend over to get the coins and not get them!

People do strange things sometimes. There is a street in Philadelphia that has a gum wall. THousands of people have put chewed gum on the wall, and it sticks there. It actually is very colorful.

@JudyEv I was just reading the one in Philly was actually a tree that wad cut down, but they have gum walls in Seattle and San Diego.

That is very unusual!
Is someone trying to conduct an experiment?
Or is it some kind of a "Spy" signal?
Well, difficult to say but amusing as well in some ways !

Maybe there is a hidden camera filming people trying to prise up the coins!

There used to be a professor at my school who was infamous for going to great extents to pick up a single penny. So a couple kids started to glue down pennies throughout campus, and it didn’t take long before you’d see him, bent over, trying to scrape those pennies off the sidewalk. He wanted those pennies no matter how hard it was to get them!

That certainly is interesting and makes you wonder why. Of course I'm sure it brings along a whole bunch of scenarios as to why someone would do this and probably many conversations between people waiting for the bus.

You'd wonder why someone would do that but to each their own I guess.
