here's an idea for dumping

Couple glues 60,000 pennies to bedroom floor - TODAY News

 

[Mr.T]

Thats pretty cool. It actually looks very well!

 

[GarouLady]

they glued the two rare coins into the floor rather than sell them to pay for the project? excuse me while I pick my jaw up off the floor. ::;grumbles some choice words:: especially the indian head that was pre-1900!! eesh...

Other than that, I have thought about glueing pennies to one of my walls in my room, but it was just a thought.

"Within the bulk of pennies came some rare finds — a 1944 WWII 440 steel penny that was created due to a copper shortage, and a 1873 penny featuring an Indian head instead of Abraham Lincoln. Both pennies are worth enough money to pay for the project, but they also ended up on the floor."


Skeptical...

I hope they got the date wrong on that steel cent. Checking PCGS there's only 37 known 1944 steel cents and they range from $100,000 to $500,000 depending on the condition.

 

[unclehuckelberry]

Also, the Indian Head, even in good condition, is between $22 and $315. I guess this would be a case of their trash is someone else's treasure. Leave is to some stupid hippies.

An 1873 Indian head is worth that much? I have some from before 1900 but mostly common years. I am sure they were wrong on the 1944 steel cent. And when they say it "features an Indian head," it's actually Lady Liberty wearing an American Indian head-dress.

And when they say pennies the mean cents

 

[TheMcs]

lol Thorne. I dunno man, the wrappers said pennies...

 

[Thorne]

Still wrong. Its just a common misconception. Britan uses the Penney.

 

[TheMcs]

I know, just busting your chops.

 

[D1MES_101]

cool

 

[D1MES_101]

WTH A 1944 STEEL PENNY!?!?!? isnt that like over 100,000$ !?!?!?!

 

[MentalUnrest]

Sorry, but if this couple found a 1944 steel cent, that would make much bigger news than their floor project.

Cool floor but not a chance they found that.

MU

From their site about it:

We finalized the project by placing one rare silver penny into the mix of copper. Then, we drowned the floor in a clear coat, and cemented the little Lincolns into their final resting place.

Obviously they got it right. Those rare silver cents.

I think they were wrong on the date too, but still, who would glue an IHC to a floor?

Answer:

Leave it to some stupid hippies.

Almost a year ago my wife saw someone do this to there kitchen on some website and she wanted to do it. She wanted to this in our bathroom which is tiny. I thought it was a good idea, actually cheaper to do this than put down the slate tile I wanted. I calculated how many I would need and it ended up being 10240 pennies ( thats what I call them!) for a 5' by 8' bathroom. Thats only 102.40 dollars. I haven't even started yet.

 

[tlowery04]

he hardest part is keeping them in a straight line

 

[Infowarrior]

They probably have a 1943 steel... I have found 2 of those in reject trays within the past 3 months...

What is up with that indian head? Was 1873 a special date where lincoln was supposed to be on that? Or are they, and the media that stupid they dont even know about indian head pennies? Im not a penny CRH'er myself, so I dont know too awful much... I just dont understand why they are expecting lincoln on a 1873?

 

[fistfulladirt]

My buddy did his bathroom floor.

I found 80 wheat pennies doing this...

 

[hotrod]

when u found the wheats did you chip them out of the floor?
