How can I stick £1 pound coins to card?

warehouse

Strange question I know, but how can I stick £1 coins to a peice of heavy card?

Why? Well it's a relatives Birthday and we want to make a giant card with a lot of £1 coins stuck inside in the shape of her age. Trouble is, we don't know what will stick the coins firmly enough not to fall off as she opens the card, but not enough to stop tem being removed quite easily and hopefully not damaging the card.

I'll experiment tomorrow night with what ideas I already have which are:
Double sided tape
Blutak

Erm, that's it. Any ideas are welcome :T.

Exactly what I was about to suggest, they hold pretty well too.

I vote Glue Dots - removeable would probably be best. http://www.gluedotseurope.com/sopx.html

Another vote for the hot glue gun.

You could always use blutak to get the layout you want, do the writing on the card and then cover the whole thing in that clear sticky back plastic that you use to cover books, you can pick it up fairly cheaply.

Sellotape works, I have done this before.

Can I just add that having tried something similar that the weight of the coins makes it very hard for the card to stand up without overbalancing:o
