The pre-1983 pennies are worth 2 cents in copper metal, so he bought it at a discount.

Yeah, I have a ton of them. I was going to rip up the carpet and put down wood laminate flooring this coming spring, but now I've changed my mind.

After a while, the thin copper plating on the post-1983 pennies will wear down to zinc and look silvery.

Just think!  No more carpet cleaning, just pour a can of copper polish on the floor and buff to a fine shine.

Hey Jake, I heard you got a new floor.

Yep, sure did.

What did it cost you?

Pennies!

 Pour and level a decent coat of clear epoxy over top, let it cure fully,  and it should stay the way you created it.
 Just a guess...

Can't do this in Canada. They got rid of pennies a few years ago. Amounts ending in 0, 1 or 2 are rounded to 0. Amounts ending in 3, 4 or 5 are
  rounded up to 5 at the register. That would never work here, we're too greedy!!!
