Actually, tacking the coin to the target board with staples around the edges worked for me. The coins either stayed in place or just fell to the ground in front of the board after being hit. Of course the velocity and type of bullet had a lot to do with it, I was using hand loaded .223 cal. FMJ's in my AR-15 with a 4x Colt scope at 25 yards to perforate these coins. They went right through the coins like hot butter!
Duct taping them to the target board probably would have worked good too.
