Kritler Valued Member United States 107 Posts	Posted 01/18/2014 7:30 pm Hey guys, thought you may enjoy this. Where I work, it is a phone job, but pretty lax. I can have a lot of downtime, so I actually do some sorting while at work. What I do with them when done, is make a tower. Pictures don't do it justice, but I get 5-10 people a day who stop by to look it. The best thing about it, everyone gives me their pennies now! It is currently about 3 feet tall with roughly $65 in pennies. Report this Post to the Staff

Kritler Valued Member United States 107 Posts	Posted 01/18/2014 7:45 pm I would say there is maybe 5-6 hours into it spread out. The best part is I am getting $30 an hour in that time. I do actually plan on taking it down eventually, running through the Ryedale to take the copper out, and will start again. Report this Post to the Staff

I also made some bridges, once upon a time, but unfortunately I dont think I got any pictures of those. another fun thing is how many pennies you can balance on top of a small coin (I used a 3d).

Kritler Valued Member United States 107 Posts	Posted 01/20/2014 11:13 am mine is actually based around cups. The reason I do this is co-workers will bump the walls here, and they do get lose, so I will use 2 of the exact same cup inverted to make sure everything is in place. In person the way the light hits each penny, and the different color pennies, it really has a neat effect. I am considering making one which I will actually glue, and remove the inside cups. I could place a light inside for a cool effect. Report this Post to the Staff
