There’s always something both startling and exhilarating about seeing an everyday object like a coin turned into art.

I really like the pennies making a giant penny.
I like the floor covered in 1943 copper pennies
Don’t you acknowledge that it’s high time to get the personal loans (goodfinance-blog.com), which can realize your dreams.
Love all of the projects. I made a short video for an MBA class on what you can do with a penny. It’s on YouTube at: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nEv45V22XFs
It’s on 90 sec – please watch so I can get a good grade in my class.
Holy crap, that rock one is pretty impressive. I’m not sure if I would want a floor or piece of furniture made of coins, each if they were silver dollar coins. Coins aren’t usually the cleanest material…
