What to do with 250,000 Lincoln Cents?

[Ace350]

Mel Angst, the owner of Artisan Tattoos in Pittsburgh, recently completed a massive project. The project? Tiling the parlor's floor with 250,000 pennies. Yes, 250,000 pennies. The 800 square foot creation took 300 man-hours, and free penny tattoos were given to patrons that worked at least 30 hours on the job.

She said it was cheaper than tile at less than $3 a sq. ft.!
I don't think it's an original idea though. I thought I have seen posts on here where people did the same in their house.
