This is a specially modified nickel that holds one nice little charge and can quickly be reloaded for the next victim. This trick makes a great, harmless April Fool's prank and is also good for a laugh any other day of the year.

The squirt nickel is a nicely crafted little prank that's always good for a laugh. This is an actual nickel that has been modified in a machine shop to include a little brass chamber in the hollowed out back and a little pin hole in the front. To load the squirt nickel you hold it under water and squeeze the nickel until you don't see any more air bubbles. Dry off the nickel and you're ready. Ask the victim if he can read the date on the coin or, if he can see the sprinkler system on Jefferson's lawn. When he gets in range, squeeze the nickel and a little stream of water hits the victim in the face. One more way to approach the victim: ask if he can see the flower garden in front of Jefferson's house. Then you can say: whoops, there goes the sprinkler system.
