That's money you're removing from our economy. They may just seem like pennies, nbd, but for every hundred you saved to glue to your kitchen, you might as well be pasting a dollar bill to your wall, and I doubt pulling an actual dollar from our country seems like a smart idea to you.

We have just moved to a new home, and now is my chance. I have a huge kitchen remodel first, but I am thinking of doing this floor in a small area that now has tiles. The rest of the floors are really beautiful refinished old wood, so I think the copper would be fabulous as an accent. *pinned* Hoping to find more detailed how-to instructions.

I placed all the pennies heads up apart from one coin which i beleive adds another element of excitment to the whole penny floor thing. I live in the UK so the floor getting hot is never going to be an issue but it does get very cold. I was also conserned about the floor starting to smell and the coins oxidising and starting to change colour. I have recently purchased some Brasso metal polish and have polished random coins and going to seal the surface with a clear lacquer to stop the smell the oxidising and hopefully make it a little more hygenic. As for it being illegal, I am led to beleive that as long as you dont try and use the currency in the future then this is fine. <br />Hopefully this post will help anybody who has the urge to do a Penny floor. It is very very easy to do but it does take a long time but by the reactions i have had from various visitors i believe it was absolutely worth it.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09736820992537662330noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3585303739368561925.post-81551519859430177362012-09-17T13:55:23.512-04:002012-09-17T13:55:23.512-04:00you can not go to jail for this and you are not de...you can not go to jail for this and you are not defacing the pennys.
