THE PENNY FLOOR - VIDEO

I tiled my floor in pennies and somehow ended up on the Today Show for it. This was the video you all shared.

So, about $1, 60 per square foot. Thats actually cheaper than a lot of tile, and it looks fantastic. At first I was thinking I would have treated them all in vinegar to shine them up, but after seeing your results I think the color contrast looks better. Congratulations, fantastic work.

I see this guy in an economic recession digging out the coins in his floor :)

Pretty sure this is probably actually illegal.

I saw this done on some show once. It looks amazing. Good job.

[burningexperience]

what if you sell the house would that include the flooring?

Would have been nice to see how you applied the resin/Polyurethane to finish the floor.

According to Coin Week a 1944 steel penny in AU-53 (About Uncirculated) grade sold for $37, 375 last year. Considering they didn't show the date in the Today show bit I'm doubtful it's a 44. Plus they glued it to the floor but they could still make a few grand. The 1873 Indian Cent in it's condition according to the grey sheet is less than $15.

i do flooring and to me that isnt a clear coat, he just took pictures after he grouted and the floor is still wwet when he filmed so it looks like a finish, but iam sure you could find a lacker to use. IMO it looks like he used industrial grade exterior stone grout instead of tile grout.

its the same as a hard wood floor. you can clean it very easy!! thanks for the comment.

I'm inspired to make a penny backsplash. Love your floor. Thanks for sharing your project and talents!

Hey, I don't know if you realize this, or if I'm missing something, but 1944 steel cents are EXTREMELY rare - almost all steel cents were manufactured in 1943. If it really is a 1944 that you guys found, its worth hundreds of thousands of dollars...

This is so beautiful!! What a wonderful job and how creative!! Thanks for sharing this labor of

[Spammyguy]

That is amazing and way cool looking.  Would love it in a kitchen.  Awesome job.

It's a floor...All floors have bacteria on them. You can clean... and $390.00 isn't bad for a floor you want...Penny's is a Great Idea.... Go out and price tile or laminate...

[MissJaneRockett]

Is the floor difficult to clean, or is it pretty much the same as any hard floor? It doesn't look like it'd be too hard to clean if you guys used a sturdy finish.

I want to do this when I get my own place. Are the pennies all facing heads up?

[aarongranger]

I saw it calculated somewhere else... it's about $2.70 per square foot (for the pennies), which is cheaper than a lot of tile or other flooring options.

What kind of glue did you use on the floor? Beautiful, beautiful floor. :)
