  Nice. There is a bar in Door County, WI that has a bar made out of Lincoln cents. The bar that sponsored our Thursday night darts team last fall/winter, Sammy's Place in East Troy, WI has their bar constructed of Jefferson nickels. It took between six and seven $100 boxes to put it together. There is one 'V' nickel and a few Buffalo nickels scattered about in there too. I plan to donate around 100 dateless Buffalo nickels next fall for a table that Sammy is making.

  Now if that work was done with 'Omega Saints" you'd have something.

  There have been a few of these projects shown here over the years. I believe there is also a bar in Nevada with silver dollars in the surface. I also recall a car covered in cents as well. Not sure how that would hold up. Cheers, RickO

  I don't know how comfortable this lounge chair is but it looks very pretty.

  For these type of projects, I sure hope the makers know to use copper cents and not zincolns.

  I tell my kids to only use copper cents when making elongated coin keepsakes.

  No glue for elongated cents ...

  But for glue, I would use epoxy or E6000

  I sat and fell asleep on couple of those every time I visited Storm King Art Center. They were made of Kennedy half dollars and very comfortable. And of course, nothing beats an afternoon nap in a 500-acres landscape/ outdoor museum

  Some CRH will eventually see a good variety and take a knife to the piece or wall. I'll bet there are a few 1995 DDO's in those images.

  Would be interesting to see it but I think I would tire of it pretty quick.
