Finding A Penny On The Ground

I've seen that before, and I agree it's really cool. I think that would be an awesome idea for flooring in a coin shop. Even better if you do it using bags of "Completely UNSEARCHED WHEATS!" on ebay, of which there is a plethora.

Nominally, probably about five dollars in pennies.

Now if there is an 09S VDB in XF in that particular square foot...

aye. pennies would be a MUCH cheaper material than regular tile.
i'd upcharge the customer for the price of copper though.

not sure what sort of mortar to use with copper though...hmm. I guess you'd just use normal thinset. probably you could just glue it and it'd be fine.

if/when I become a millionaire, I want a floor like that one, but made of morgans.

I can't begin to imagine how time consuming it would be to create something like this. Even the floor; those cents are spaced out perfectly. Insane. I showed my wife. She has been wanting to replace our kitchen floor for some time. I also have buckets of Pre 82 copper in the shop. I say let's do it! :)

Years ago I worked for my uncle. He was building a modern home for a German couple that wanted the house and ALL the rooms to be round/rounded. They also wanted the garage floor, drive-way, front walk way, and front entrance way to be made of US coins! After concrete went down, we built a frame and layed out mostly pennies & nickles, some dimes and quarters, and placed a few halves and dollars here and there. Then we mixed and poured on the epoxy.....buckets of the stuff! The walk way and front entrance turned out so slick that they decided not to do the drive way and garage.
