I will consider doing that when I buy a house in a few years.  |

And in a few years time, I would imagine a post with the title "How to remove coin from floor with epoxy!"  |

Pretty cool, yes :)
I had a similar idea some time ago, but with a small table (and euro cent coins :) )

I wonder if they searched those pennies for rare dates and errors first.  That would make a cool kitchen counter top too! Edited by cwb

Neat project, I'd love to live in such a room, with the sun shining in now and then.
Best of all is that the floor is not complete waste when disposing of, although I could imagine all the trouble getting the pennies back to the bank, if even possible at all.

Great idea - thanks for sharing! Quote:

I suppose there could have been the odd error coin, but no UK decimal pennies are rare - the scarcest one you might find would be a 1972 proof that had accidentally got into circulation, and even those are only worth a few pounds. |

Lots of penny floors done. My buddy did his bathroom floor, looks cool.
When I listen to LED ZEPPELIN...so do my neighbors...
Roll hunting since '77

I did a small table over the holiday break a few weeks ago. Took an awful lot of time. Easy way out -- no epoxy, just a posterboard base, a sheet of acrylic on top, and a home-made frame. Net cost, about $35 (including the pennies).  |

Really cool idea! I like the table especially covered flat that way. My daughter's mother in law had an end table her son had modified and put small tiles in part of top. I refinished/repaired table but she wanted me to replace tiles with the same type of coins the boy's father had given them as youngsters...Morgans...in a 18" x 18" section. Didn't happen, convinced her I'd regrout the tiles and would look like new, whew! |
