Inspiration came in the form of a portrait of Abraham Lincoln made entirely of pennies that he saw at the Ripley's Believe It Or Not museum in Florida about eight years ago.

I wonder how that portrait will look in twenty five years or so? According to the article, they used only naturally toned coins.

it will look like a big blob if they didn't coat the coins with something that will deter toning further
