I'm not sure how to attach the nickels.  They seem a little thin to just
pour the plaster around and expect them to stay put especially after
digging channels around them.  So I
may just epoxy them onto the surface.

Hi
 Use JB Weld to stick them to the stone and then use some
ordinary boat epoxy to seal the stone and fill any gaps under the coins.
