Thanks for the info! I've done a few of these in my house as well and something people should know: you CAN use poly to seal the floor. True, it's not quite as hard as the resin finishes, BUT remember poly is what manufactured hardwood is coated with and many of those will last 20+ years. It'll depend on the thickness as well. I went with something pretty thick because I wanted the pennies to be entirely encased in the poly, not merely coated. This ensures a glass-smooth surface and hides nearly all the imperfections encountered when laying down the pennies (like one sticking up higher than those around it, etc). Lastly, when you use poly, USE WATER BASED poly! It dries faster and remains clear. Oil based poly will continue to amber over time until it looks like the floor is many years older than it is. When I did my first penny floor I didn't know this and used oil based. A year later when I did my next floor, the first one had already yellowed so much that it looked almost antique. Not a baaaad look per se, but not what I was going for. I used water based on the rest and even years later they're still clear as crystal. I ended up stripping the poly from the first one and replacing it with water based.
This is exactly the info I was looking for! I'm doing my first penny floor. Do you have a brand of poly you recommend & how many coats do you use? Also do you recommend groutting?
I’m doing a floor at of notes I am half finished and I am using see through glass to cover it but it looks like you are stepping on it as it is glued to the notes
Excellent video. Insightful ideas. Clearly explained. We are going into this project the wiser because of your video.
As Industrial Carpenter, I am big on Granite, your Copper is Gangsta.
This is by far the most informative video that I have found. You clearly go over every step and add your own hacks which is great! My only suggestion would be to address what tool you use and how you cut the pennies. Thanks again for a great job!
grt video, so many variable taken into account---best I've seen on the topic. preparing my wooden floor now, will use this video to help me along.
Great vid! Guys like you are the reason why TH-cam rocks! Thank you sir!
Looks awesome!!!!!! Thanks for the video!
Thank you!! This is soooo cool! Gives me an idea for my bathroom countertop.
Great note about the grout, non-hardening clay and filling by the base boards...we are starting this weekend. Thanks.
Thank you so much! This is a very helpful video.
thank you for the info!
Great video! Thanks for the tips. 😁
Wow great tips thank you
How do I epoxy in the shower without having my epoxy self level so I can maintain my slant to drain my water ?
Check Sherwin Williams Armor Shield Epoxy. I did 800sf for around $150. That should be plenty for your project.
This looks amazing! Very informative! What did you cut the pennies with
you can use heavy duty tin snips
I want to do a penny floor in my kitchen too. Only problem is, laws where I live require floors to be built at a tiny angle. Meaning that a certain very mild tilt exists, though barely even noticable to the eye. Could this be a problem, would it cause the epoxy to "flow" before setting? Thanks.
Thanks
Wow that's a lot of work but very cool.
Thank you
Property value increased
Do you have to glue the pennies down? will they float or move if you don't?
Great video! Very informative! Wanting to do an old dining room table as my first project. Thanks
Can I lay pennies over old vinyl roll floors? Is there a prep for it? How did you figure how many pennies per the square ft?

We have several epoxy floors in our house over concrete slab(office, master bath & kitchen) and I clean them with hot water and occasionally a 20% vinegar/80% water mix. Still look wonderful after 5 years. Although we haven't put epoxy down on the pennies yet (we wanted them to patina a bit for a more even look), they have not come up in 3 years and they are down with a product from loc-tite and grouted in a hallway.
Could you do one layer of polyeurethane and then a layer of epoxy instead of grouting
Your tweaked out for this one 😄
How's does it look today 2021
I want to do this
What glue should I use? Ty love your videos!!
Hello I used gel superglue. You can buy it in bulk packs cheap at harbor freight. Don't use the regular superglue
How many penny can we put n a square meter ?
Thank you. See thats what i thought would happen with the templates. You would end up with irregular patterns and could really see it. And i have seen it on some penny floor projects on here. If i seal my wall with polyurethane will my pennies turn or still tarnish??? Im doing a backsplash and around my kitchen counter tops.
I moved into an apt that has a penny floor. I now have three large areas that have turned almost greenish. I have never put anything on the floor, like cleansers, and the floor does not have that lovely shiny finished look. Can you PLEASE tell me how to remove those stains? Also, I have a wooden counter, and there is also a few areas that have turned black, and why I have no idea. I don't use it as a food predation area, in fact, I hate cooking. Can you also tell me what that is, PLEASE?? BTW, GREAT YID !!
Nitric acid for the pennies
to clean the green off pennies. peroxide mixed with baking soda and a dab of clorox. It will be a foaming white mixture. If you like, you can add some vinegar. MOP it onto the pennies a few times. dry with a towel. All pennies will be brilliant shiney bright copper again. For tough pennies that are super rotten, spray treat those a few times and wipe. If you like, then add epoxy over it. Expensive to use, but will seal in the pennies and keep them shiney beautiful. THe black on the wood, is a type of wood rot. Paint the wood black, let dry, then top coat it with epoxy. I would do this. Hope this helps you. I used to clean copper, so I know how to clean it. I also do art with copper, flame painting.
Witness For Yeshua Mashiach Would it be easier to clean the pennies in a bucket before I glue to the concrete?
How much time and days does it took to complete the project
Does it take
Bought a house with ugly design and uneven Penny floor... Hate it. How do I remove all of it? We want to put different flooring down
Please, please do yourself a favour, DO NOT use Silicone to stick pennies down, over time it will not stay. Try a Wood Tile Adhesive spread over the floor area, I am assuming your floor is Timber if not use a Masonry Tile Adhesive, lay on Thinly or it will spill out in between the coins, then put a Waterproof Grout to seal all the gaps before putting a Clear Coat Epoxy over the whole floor with a ROLLER, do not use a Brush, it will drag the Finished Coat. Why not put a nice center piece down in say silver quarters, to give it some eye sparkle Mr Spence Eng
Can the pennies be laid on tile?
yes that's what I did. I painted the tile with an industrial black paint first so it would look uniform between the pennies.
Thank you I'm going to try this
That's a lot of super glue tubes..
Nice but no hacks here.
That's ugly
So ugly. Why do it
Thanks
