July 5, 2009: Floor Covering, from Pennies

Cheaper than most flooring options...

The epoxy they are embedded in, and the epoxy that covers them, probably cost more than the pennies. I'm sure the labor did.

I like the look and the construction seems to be safe from slipping all around on them.

Would the nice people at the mint appreciate that? Maybe it's fine with them since it's just thousands and not tens of millions of pennys.

What do you think of the random shades of patina?

It would make it hard to notice any dirt spots that normally show up in heavily trafficked areas during the day. The night crew cleans up and nobody's the wiser.
