BATHROOM FLOOR TILED WITH PENNIES

It's been done before, but it's still a pretty cool idea, whether you're a coin collector or not. Here's a story from England about a man who tiled his bathroom floor with 5,500 one penny coins. -Editor

Heard of the saying spend a penny?

Well, one man is taking it quite literally, by recovering his entire bathroom floor in pennies.

His daughter posted the image in the DIY On A Budget Official Facebook group and the idea was a hit.

She said that the floor contains £55 worth (so 5500 pennies). Her dad stuck them all down with glue and then pour epoxy resin over the top to make it level, protect it from water and to stop the pennies being tarnished.

It took around a day to dry but luckily he has another loo in his house he could use while it set.
