Even more surprising, it's all 1909-S VDB's and 1914-D's!  |

Do you know what he used as an adhesive or mortar?

Very nice and I imagine alot cheaper then building it with other materials. Not to mention it can always be taken down and still be worth its weight in coin. :)

Reminds me of the Million Dollar Cowboy Bar in Jackson, Wyoming. When I went there about 8 years ago, there were lots of Morgan, Peace and Ike dollars set into the counter - not sure if they're still there now! |

The coins are Elmer's glued to cardboard, and the entire facade is easily removable. Me, I'd have used Liquid Nails onto smooth mortar. Good luck removing it, next owner.  |

I would've nailed them in place around the gap between each coin, or stuck them into the cement kind of like brickwork. Not to mention I would've had a blend of color going one way, but that's just me. Sweet fireplace! They look like tiny bricks.

Wow, this reminds me of a car that I stopped in the parking lot just to take a picture of at work.. The hood was covered in cents just like this! Should get the picture off my phone sometime.
