I was browsing Pinterest today and came across a penny floor. I thought it was definitely cool enough to share here. I found a few other rooms done in pennies...and even a nickel floor. I am not sure how "legal" this is, but I love the look of it for the right place.
so cool! I love it!
ReplyDeleteThat last one is a picture of my kitchen. :) Thanks for including it.
ReplyDeleteHow much do you have invested in your floor? (literally!!!!)
DeleteIt looks great. Is it durable? How did you glue it?
DeleteSomeone please tell us how u glue n seal it
DeleteLove this!!! How did u glue amd seal this look
DeleteLove this!!! How did u glue amd seal this look
DeleteBy the looks of your counter side panel, you're into mosaics. It looks GREAT and you should be very proud!!!!!
Deletehow do you clean it?
ReplyDeleteGee, this seems like it would be illegal like you said. Certainly it would have to be sealed.
ReplyDeleteWhy would this be illegal? If its your home and your penny's, then why would it be. There's no difference in going and buying flooring with those pennies than using them instead. Lol!!
ReplyDeleteever so true
DeleteIts defacing government money though. Even though its your money its still a federal offense to ruin money.
DeleteHow is that defacing money? I seriously doubt the feds are going to arrest you for this....
Deleteillegal!
DeleteIts not defacing it its preserving it so therefore its legal...
DeletePennies, not "penny's", you imbecile.
Deleteso beautiful and creative!!!
ReplyDeleteHow do you glue them down?
ReplyDeleteSo how much does it cost per square foot??? Haha!!!
ReplyDeleteHow do you glue and seal it?
ReplyDeleteYes do tell how it is sealed
ReplyDeleteJust to add a bonus fact: copper has natural antimicrobial properties!
ReplyDeleteHow the hell do u seal it????
ReplyDeleteGD .......give an answer u fools!
Go to your local home improvement store and ask someone in the flooring department! Geez be a little self-sufficient and less rude!
DeleteShouldn't have told them if they're gonna be so rude
DeleteDefacement of currency is a violation of Title 18, Section 333 of the United States Code. Under this provision, currency defacement is generally defined as follows: Whoever mutilates, cuts, disfigures, perforates, unites or cements together, or does any other thing to any bank bill, draft, note, or other evidence of debt issued by any national banking association, Federal Reserve Bank, or Federal Reserve System, with intent to render such item(s) unfit to be reissued, shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than six months, or both.
ReplyDeleteDefacement of currency in such a way that it is made unfit for circulation comes under the jurisdiction of the United States Secret Service. The United States Secret Service web address is www.secretservice.gov.
therefore make sure to use Canadian pennies ...
DeleteWow.... Then I know a whole lot of artists, jewelers, Suzy homemakers, who are fugitives from the law.... Seriously...
DeleteTROLL
DeleteSo those penny smashing machines at amusement parks that we used as kids. . Were actually commiting a felony? Hmm
DeleteOmg what kind of tool bag turns someone in for putting PENNIES on the floor? Besides that this law hinges on "intent" of rendering it unfit. If you wanted to you could always chip it off and soak it clean. Most importantly pennies that are older will be worth a lot more $ as copper becomes more precious, as opposed to the pennies made the last 15-20ish years. Maybe those making these floors are thrifty savers... ;D
ReplyDeleteThat guy is a total dushbag and probably has nothing better to do with his time but be a bigger tattle tale. He probably is jealous he didnt come uo with the idea. Go fly a kite ...crazy person
ReplyDeleteThey'll probably discontinue pennies in the not so near future anyway. i wouldn't worry about it. the floors look awesome!!!! neat idea!
ReplyDeleteLove it!
ReplyDeleteThere is a penny floor at the kids room in the OKC National Memorial & Museum.
ReplyDeleteSo when u drop a penny at the grocery store, or step on one in a parking lot... u should get arrested !? Thats a tad bit over the top....... I think the penny floor is super so creative!
ReplyDeleteI love the floors, I've also seen picnic tables done with pennies
ReplyDeleteHow about the penny machines at all the amusement parks that they flatten and print their pictures on coins.
ReplyDeleteBoom^ haha exactly.
DeleteExactly the point I was going to make.... Good call on the amusement parks flattening Pennies ;)
DeleteYet still, no answer to how to seal this up? Anyone. ... Anyone.... Bueller?
ReplyDeleteLOL!!!
Deleteshellac and it's not illegal if you never intend to use them again.
ReplyDeleteTo the person whose kitchen this is in.. how did you finish this? Its so shiny! Cool!
ReplyDeleteJust use Canadian pennies ;-)
ReplyDeleteUse the Canadian pennies cause they are no longer being made and are becoming obsolete.
ReplyDeletepolyurethane floor sealer and a wool brush
ReplyDeleteWhy would anyone care if this is illegal!? If it's your money then do what u want with it! Wow ppl
ReplyDeleteThere is a truck in my town covered in pennies.
ReplyDeleteI'm not Bueller, but I believe a 2-part resin is used to seal the floor. You mix the two parts and then you have a short amount of time to pour the resin - it sets up fast but then it's extremely hard! It wouldn't work on a floor that is severely off level.
ReplyDeleteThis is a funny post! You all made my night!
Oh, and I've seen some awesome penny floors in a popular restaurant in NYC - about a block from Wall Street :)
Pretty but doesnt it smell weird? Hate the way change smells.
ReplyDelete^^ Good point! Me too....
DeletePennies are the only tender you can deface. (Hence the amusement park penny squisher things) there for it is legal. The nickel one however is illegal

ReplyDeleteThere are a lot of laws on the books that are not enforced. There are amusement parks that smash quarters so the amusement park statement I would question. Unlike the amusement parks you are not destroying the coin. The floors do look very nice and it is less expensive that other flooring. There is a jell resin that seals these kind of projects, go to any home improvement stores and ask.
ReplyDeleteTo the last poster: you are so correct! Actually there is even a law still on the books in New York that stated it is illegal to take a shower without your clothes! I am sure there are at least a few people that are in violation of that law. rofl! Just in case anyone is wondering, the law was written way back when the plague was common place and this was believed to help prevent the spread of the disease.
ReplyDeleteEse piso se ve muy bien y lo voy a poner en México. Lol
