Answer 1

I think you would buy nails with a decorative top, or you would use screws, countersunk, and make little wooden buttons to push into the hole and cover up the screw heads.

Answer 2

For something like Plinko you could take the back board and drill holes into it for dowels. You could then cut the dowels to the appropriate size and spray paint them gold. Then just glue the dowels into the holes. You would want to put a frame around the whole thing to attach the plexi glass outer cover to. So the dowels would need to touch or almost touch the plexiglass cover when it's on, that way the chips won't get stuck between the dowels and the plexi.
