....but this is another thing entirely:

You've-Seen-Countertops-And-Floors-Made-Of-Cents....

An acquaintance from another forum just finished this. Every single coin (just under $25 face) is oriented the same, obverse out and straight up & down.
Rest in Peace

Probably stores and radiates heat nicely. I'd bet copper sheet would cost more. Are the leftovers in the jar on the left?

Wonder what he used to glue them down and if he covered them with any sort of finish, epoxy or just grouted them.

Maybe the ones in the jar are replacements for any that fall out?

Wow! Cool! I wouldn't even have thought they were pennies if I didn't know already! They look like a nice mosaic!
