I will say the obvious:

That's kinda real cool!

Reminds me of a clowny mate of mine that Araldited a Dollar coin to the pavement in a very public place. It stayed there for about a month. Obviously several people tried remove it, because over that time, it became covered with very deep scratches and score marks.

Eventually the dollar disappeared.
I examined where it had been.

Close examination revealed a heavy crazed chip in the hardened Araldite, which had obviously received a very sharp blow from a cold chisel.

I guess that the coin must have accelerated from it's stuck down position at a very great rate of knots!

Well there should be around $2.56 in Lincoln's in a square foot according to this. Although the dimensions under the photo and the ones on the chart do not match so I guess one would have to find out for sure by making a one square foot layer of cents.

If they did, the price of one members collection would suddenly skyrocket. You might say He'd "Clean Up".

I think the coins in the floor are a little classier than the ones in the toilet seat.

Oh you're a quick one Scooby That was a great one!

When I saw the floor, which I love the look of it by the way, loving pennies and copper in genral, I had a hilarious image flash through my head of people down on hands and knees, nose to the floor, looking through loops at each of the Lincolns

That floor and wall both look really cool!

Kind of reminds me of the Silver Queen in Virginia City, Nevada.
