Saw a video of this online a while back. The finished product looks great but I would never have the patience for it.
Just fitting a new kids bathroom and decided for this on the floor. Levelling complete and most of pennies siliconed down. Next grouting and then apply clear resin.
Cost is £25 per sq metre for coins and about £50 per sq metre for resin and other bits so not the cheapest and certainly not the quickest but quite a unique look!

Looks great!
That looks superb. I've seen these done before and always wondered if they are slippery when wet?
The pennies age still? So over time the floor colours will evolve?

You could have at least done a pattern
Must admit, the patterns look good, especially the bottom one.
Note to self, I do not need a penny floor
Looks bloody good though!
those patterns are spectacular.
the downside of course is that you’re walking on Her Majesty’s face...
Legend says Surcouf (a French corsair who was not very popular on this side of the Channel ) wanted to do the same in golden bullions (‘Napoleons’) on his balcony. As Napoleon said he wasn’t keen on being tread upon, Surcouf put them on the edge.

OK, so the epoxy resin I'm using is called glasscast from a company called easycomposites

So will you be spending a penny in the shower?
Really good job, looks great!
I have a small outside area (2m sq) i wanted gravel resin bonded, quotes were ridiculous.
Anybody know if this resin would bond if mixed into gravel of a small 2-5mm?
I wonder if this would work with under floor heating/warming electric system ?
...however should any problem subsequently arise, any work underdone would require a brand new floor, wouldn’t it?

Always fancied one of those.
Wonder if there are any legality issues in doing it? Not that i'd let it stop me!
Got a reply back from the resin seller, and yes you can use the resin with underfloor warming/heating, in fact they say the heating would help in drying out the area before pouring, off to check the penny jars
