Great idea - thanks for sharing! Quote:
I wonder if they searched those pennies for rare dates and errors first. I suppose there could have been the odd error coin, but no UK decimal pennies are rare - the scarcest one you might find would be a 1972 proof that had accidentally got into circulation, and even those are only worth a few pounds. |

Lots of penny floors done. My buddy did his bathroom floor, looks cool.

I did a small table over the holiday break a few weeks ago. Took an awful lot of time. Easy way out -- no epoxy, just a posterboard base, a sheet of acrylic on top, and a home-made frame. Net cost, about $35 (including the pennies).  |

Really cool idea! I like the table especially covered flat that way. My daughter's mother in law had an end table her son had modified and put small tiles in part of top. I refinished/repaired table but she wanted me to replace tiles with the same type of coins the boy's father had given them as youngsters...Morgans...in a 18" x 18" section. Didn't happen, convinced her I'd regrout the tiles and would look like new, whew! |

I would have loved to see that Morgan dollar table.  Maybe you could have used Ikes instead?  |

I felt guilty enough gluing the pennies to the posterboard. But Morgans? I originally wanted to do a floor -- saw a video like the OP's and visited a number of how-to sites. But the only available floorspace for such a project at my house is the foyer. There's no way that would work for the required drying time and it would have rendered the front door unusable for us and the dogs. Plus the smell. I'm contemplating a set of coasters next. Those require only 41 cents each and I have some left over. |

Coasters should be really economical.  Yup, the front foyer is a no-go and there is really no other place unless I wanted to do one of the bathrooms. I might just settle for one of these...  http://goccf.com/t/14599#116847 |
