July 5, 2009: Floor Covering, from Pennies
Not JC Penny's, US pennies.

 I'm partial to hardwood floors and especially love the look of end grain wood blocks, like they had in old machine shops. But I must admit this looks pretty cool... so would $20 gold pieces.  link via

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? |

I really like the look of that.
But I'd prefer to see it with (UK) 20p pieces. Oooh, silvery, all shiny! Am I am bad person for reading the title wrong and thinking it was man-parts? I was apprehensive about clicking on it... sticky... |

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.
