Found chache of 31,140 pennies in the most unusual place ever

[inspectorgadget]

That's right that is 31,140 pennies your looking at on the floor. This is said to cost between $2.50 & $3.50 per square foot including the pennies, grout & polyurethane floor sealant. I just had to share this, maybe I didn't pull this find out of the ground but I found it online & if you ask me a find is a find

I think this is a very neat idea for those of you out there with an excess of stinkin Lincolns just sitting in boxes or jugs! Notice they are all heads up & facing the same way. I guess there are even some wheats mixed in with the bottoms of those facing up to give family & friends a challenge to look for if they get bored. Even if you bought the pennies & other material at $2.50 to $3.50 per square foot that isn't bad at all for such a unique floor.

I wonder how long it took to lay those? Had to be one at a time. Very cool.

Cute, but a complete waste of money..

That copper plating will wear off the pennies in no time, like after a few washings, leaving the zinc to rot quickly

Just look at some of the recent finds you have

Spart, I disagree. The pennies are covered with polyurethane and will not be affected by water. Think of a wooden bar that has papers, etc., on the surface under the polyurethane. They don't get wet.

BTW, neat looking floor, but too much work! I'll go with wood any day.

The pennies will not wear or oxidize as they are coated with 3 layers of polyurethane sealant, the floor is smooth to the touch. Every penny was individually positioned & glued with Weldbond Glue. He say's it took about a year to complete doing it on weekends & rainy days only. The grout is black sanded grout & he started with a concrete floor so not much prep was involved. Tho in the pic below it doesn't show em on a concrete floor maybe that was the trial run to figure just how many pennies were needed?

The section in this pic is 5000 pennies

The vinyl flooring is probably laid over the concrete floor, this would put the pennies on a movable substrate, and also act as a barrier to protect the pennies from the acid corrosion that may occur.

It also may be stamped concrete.

A buddy of mine, Tnet member, just did his bathroom floor that way about a month ago, looks very cool.
