If this becomes a trend, than this will increase the change shortage. Where I live vendors have  signs all over to pay with credit or debit or exact change . I do not know if the change shortage is true - is it due to  vendors not wanting to handle  money due to covid or  idoes the Gov not have real money to buy metals to  press more coins ....

@skatting44   There is a shortage of change .  It seems people have been hoarding change and not using it because they are ordering on line and using CC.  No one wants to carry it around.

We have several five gallon containers full of change.  Some with just pennies and some with " silver."  The last time we cashed it in, we had over $2000 worth.  

I would cash it in right now, but my credit union is not allowing anyone in without an appointment.  You  have to use the drive in...so we will wait.  Maybe they will offer a bonus if the shortage gets too bad.  The last time we got $1.05 for every dollar we cashed in.

Can you imagine if you sat a young child there, maybe 7 or 8, and asked them

how many pennies they could count before they got exhaused?

The first picture is so cool @caroln242, I'm sure all your guests would not have

anything like it.

Interesting idea & nice to look at but, not for me 👎

From a practical point, NOPE.  I can't imagine cleaning those floors.  I think the dirt, etc. would be awful in all the cracks btw the coins.  Not only that, but the style is not appealing to me.

Thank you for for sharing.

I can appreciate the creativity but as @sceniccoast posted, I can’t imagine cleaning that floor, especially, in an entryway.

@caroln242 Labor intensive, yes, but how would one go about cleaning this floor?  Money can really get dirty.

[caroln242]

From what I understand, this type of flooring requires some sort of sealant, like an epoxy poured over it.  That way it would be easy to clean, but I would think extremely slippery!  It's an interesting idea (and design), but probably not practical for every day living.

Not feeling the pennies.

I also think it's an interesting focal point but certainly not something I would want or do.  I know some friends who did this to their kitchen countertops (no design though).  I didn't care for the look whatsoever.
