This is on a wall of a downtown Minneapolis coin dealer.  100,000 cents It is quite the site to see. And the dealer was very pleasant to talk and deal with when I went. Edited by onejinx

That's actually a cheap way to gain interest in your store... only $1000 in material. :D

I would bet that each coin in a stack is glued together but the stacks might not be glued together. I would think it would just be too unstable without them being glued into stacks- one little bump and you have a big ol' pile of copper on the floor I am not saying you would need some industrial strength epoxy or anything, just a small drop of Elmer's glue would be enough for stability and they could still be easily taken apart. Pretty dern cool nevertheless  |
