Whew, that kind of snuck up on me there.
The product you use for vanity tops and bar tops is most likely inadequate for use as a floor finish. You could try using regular polyurethane over pennies and not have the smooth surface like your vanity top but how long do you think it will take for the pennies to start to become unglued in a kitchen? I'd say no more than a week. We never did discuss the cost of what kind of epoxy you'd need to use in this case but that ain't cheap either.
