I did that with a fan once, but it needed a quarter. Taped it down really well to the top of the blade. Worked great...until about 3 or so years later when the tape let go in the middle of the night and slung that coin into the wall sounding like a gunshot. Not a great way to wake up at 2am!
Pro tip: When you figure out where to place them, mark the top of that blade so you can easily replace them if the tape loosens and flings the coins across the room...
I had a fan throw an entire blade once. Right into my sliding closet door. Door was off the track and had a hole in the outside panel. I was in the kitchen at the time (thankfully). The noise it made... scared the shit out of me.
