You could do that in your place using 50 cent coins Toni

You would need to have a lot of spare time mate and i do not have this luxury. I havent told many in NZ or in our trade but i am 5 months pregnant and have plenty to do In the coming months LOL!!! I'm real busy with my business and will be taking someone on soon as I am finding it harder to drill holes in concrete, the vibration makes me feel really I'll and my tummy is starting to get in the way!! LOL

Congratulations Toni
Have you found out what causes it?

 

[FYIfloors]

Yep been trying for two years however had given up so the cause is most likely a case of mindless abandon and getting giggy with it LOL!!

How do you make the cuts on them there pennies? I like it, kinda like the sliced cork from wine bottles.

Looks awesome Maven. Can you share some of the details? What inspired this? How'd you glue it down?? How do you keep them from popping off the floor?? Etc?

Thanks!

May I share these pics on Facebook?

(As me, the individual, not as my shop.) XD

 

[FloorMaven]

It's not my project...the pics were being passed around on facebook.

But that's a lot of pennies and it does have a little wiggle to it in the kitchen...I don't even know if the two pics are related.

 

[carpetone]

Cool. Thanks for the info.

Suppose they did a CC test?
I like the look of that.

How many pennies go into a square foot? How about a nickel floor? Is that going to be to pricey?

I looks to me like they just placed them on the floor and squeegeed poly over them.

The caption said it was covered with "resin". Wonder if it'll go green? I like it though...every coin has an unknown history.

At first i wondered if it were legal to use US currency that way...I found the latest statute and it seems it has recently been revised to include the word "fraudulently". So I'm guessin' it's cool.

That's what I was thinkin......... I see em settin pennies, but no glue to be seen. Can't see why it wouldn't work unless there was a reaction between the copper, moisture and alkali in the concrete............ but what's the chances of that?
