This is interesting: http://todaynews.today.com/_news/20...-pennies-to-bedroom-floor?lite&lite=obnetwork But, please, please tell me that the reporter goofed in saying that a 1944 steel cent was one of the ones that they glued to the floor.
"440 steel penny"? Where on earth did they come up with that? I also highly doubt both pennies were worth $1000. If it was an 1877, little different story.
That's a really neat video, but... Seemingly confusing as to why they'd put a '44 steel and Indian Head cent on the ground... Heh, I'd slab 'em. Particularly the '44.
More scary than the '44 or IHC: "sanded down to a shiny copper sheen and cemented in with a clear coat as smooth as a sheet of glass"
I scoured the web for various stories of this. I say baloney. Nowhere does it show the obv. of the '44, only the rev.
This floor looks much nicer than the one in the tattoo shop. These are shiny cents, put down in an orderly pattern. Tattoo shop floor in my opinion looks like a mess. I wouldn't mind making a copper floor with cents. I would make it 2 layers thick with all cents shiny new and same rotation. Haha maybe I'll hoard my copper cents that way.
