I've seen/heard of coins being used for table tops, bar counter tops then coated with a clear epoxy. I saw this on Reddit, a guy glued one cents to his entryway floor, will cover it with floor sealer. Looks like he used a mix of new cents and old toned cents, a nice pattern in my opinion. I don't know if he is a collector or checked for any errors LOL. He didn't say how long it took. He changed the center design.

Looks cool, but I don't think he searched the rolls it looks like he used shot gun rolls.
Does it say how many he used?

Pretty cool. I would've searched them first of course, before doing that.

That floor isn't quite a square but pretty close. A very rough guess without getting out my loupe is there are probably 90-100 cents along the back wall. To make it easy, let's go with 100, and the other dimension appears to be about 10 cents fewer, so 100 x 90 = 9,000 cents... so, about $90 in cents for that floor.

Maybe.

I wonder how long it will take for all the coins to tone out to the same dark color.
