Sorry, not really a collection per se, but something we saw at an eclectic restaurant in Florida today.
On the walkway in, these were primarily US cents, with some other things.
There were quite a few:
And inside the tables had various themes; this double table was foreign currency under acrylic:

My great uncle in the 30's thru the early 60's owned a bubble gumball machine business. He placed and serviced gumball machines in several states. He had North Carolina, Virginia and West Virginia. While I never saw it, my parents told me of his home having an uncirculated penny paved patio and den. All of the pennies were bright red, they told me. Would have loved to have pictures of them, but do not. Can you imagine seeing a 55 double die sealed into flooring? I was somewhere in New Orleans in 1968 that had a long L shaped bar completely covered in half dollars. Mixed but all silver. I have read about many bars having Morgans, but also have not seen them.

Tortilla Flat in Arizona. The bar/restaurant has numerous currency all over the walls. You can Google it to see the display along with all the other touristy things in a gallery photo slide show.
I can just see a coin collector crawling around with a magnifier looking for key dates. LOL.

There is a place in Rome, GA that has something similar.
Same thing here in Tortillia Flat, Arizona
Jeeezzzzzz!! Talk about a fire hazard with those places!! 😱 🙀

Thanks for the post. I went there once. What a ride from Phoenix through the desert to get there.
There probably not worth much now, what with condition issues, but curious how many bills may have errors or collectible serial numbers.
Where in Florida is this? Also, if you were me, I would have had a good try at conserving that wheatie.

Very cool. Also, this would be a lot funner to read if folks would STOP QUOTING ALL THE PHOTOS!

There were dollar bills hanging from the ceiling when I was at Skinny Dick's Halfway Inn, on the George Parks Highway between Fairbanks and Nenana (Alaska). It had an interesting gift shop.

We ate at No Name in Big Key last year. Thanks for the memories!

Satchel’s in Gainesville.
There were dining tables with CD’s, old iPhones, bottle caps, match books, etc all mounted under acrylic.
I posted this last week in a thread but seems appropriate to this group of photos.

Funny how people willingly give money away to fund someone else’s retirement without even thinking about it. Everyone else does it so I must do it too.
These guys probably make $50k+ extra just by having a ceiling.
this comes to mind when I view the image of the OP............
@MaineJim, I actually thought of your post when I saw these at the restaurant!
