    By the way, where are you getting your "$1.44 sqft" number from? Oh, okay 12x12 sqft blocks of pennies, no shit, I had no idea that pennies were a fucking inch in diameter.

    I don't know what country you're finding your pennies in but in the USA and Canada they're 3/4" in diameter which means you need at least 256 (16x16) of them to cover a square foot, not 144 which is $2.56 sqft (your price almost doubled, didn't it?) and like I said, that still doesn't include adhesive and whatever expensive epoxy you plan on sealing/covering it with.

    Of course it's also highly illegal to use currency like this in the United States, check "TITLE 18, PART I, CHAPTER 17, 331. Mutilation, diminution, and falsification of coins" of the US Code and see what can happen to one's sorry ass if they get caught.
    Bill - hate to say it, but on one DIY channel "Bath Crashers" episode they used pennies to create a "unique" section of a bathroom floor. I suppose they would be subject to TITLE 18, PART I, CHAPTER 17, 331 of the USC, however I believe the federal government is apparently more focused on other violations at this time since I've not seen the shows producers being carted away in handcuffs...

    Just sayin'....
