July 5, 2009: Floor Covering, from Pennies

Looks to me like they were pre-made in square tiles, then laid and epoxied over.

Gotta fix your link B, too many https...

I would love a penny floor in my kitchen, I think it looks great.
We used to frequent a bar near where we camped in Sullivan county that had a bar covered in nickles. They had nickle drafts at happy hour and very cheap food poisoning...

I wonder if it'd be attractive to lightning and/or bad for cell phones.

Read in one of the links that you can paste them to plastic mesh squares, then expoxy 'em down.

I bet you could cut one with tin snips.

Remember those miracle scissors they sold on TV for a while? They'd show them cutting pennies in half. They will.

Cutco. I have a pair that's older than me and they can still turn a penny into a cork screw.
