You can tell it’s been a good year when you start lining your floors with money. I think one of the most important thing you can have in a retail business is nice bathrooms. It says a lot about your business. I still personally clean the bathrooms myself. To me it shows that I am willing to do even the dirtiest job and I want to make sure it gets done well. But our bathrooms were deteriorating and the toilets were too small for today’s obese people. So we did a complete tear out and redid the bathrooms from scratch. My brother and our manager are great carpenters so they were able to do everything themselves. But I figured since we were doing it we might as well make it special. I was trying to think of something that would make our bathrooms memorable. A picture, an unusual sink. We didn’t want to put a ton of money into it but then I thought, lets actually put some money in it. After I calculated it out it would only cost us 150 to line the floor with pennies. So I went to the bank and purchased $240 in pennies, our manager came up with a system of making tiles in picture frames and then putting contact paper on them to make them stick. And then my brother laid the tiles and grouted them in with coffee colored grout. A little epoxy on top and the picture is our new floors. They are beautiful and memorable. Here are today’s names. May or may not be a list tomorrow as we are going to get yet another snowstorm this weekend.

*All names chosen by me, Shane, and the goal of this list is to have all links be paid through commission (click through and purchase a name you like) or paid listing. Everything I say is based on my own research or is opinion. Do your own due diligence. That means look it up yourself if you don’t think the stats or my opinion is correct.
Your floor looks awesome, a very novel idea!
You know I’m not sure about gambling? I know it causes families pain, but there are people making money out of it…Sounds an awful lot like domaining to me! Lol.
Shane,
Great idea! You’ll definitely get some positive publicity out of that. I can see people visiting the business to check out the bathroom floor. 🙂
Awesome floor Shane. Gives new meaning to the English saying to spend a penny.
It cost $150 to buy $240 in pennies ? You’re the best deal maker !
Mr. Culture,
Obviously you don’t know that you can buy USED pennies at a discount
Great floor! I googled up some instructions and will try my hand at doing this on a table. Thanks for sharing
Love the floor..and the idea for a table.
I am only investing in the new pennies.
These pennies are the future of pennies. Soon all of your old pennies will be only worth 1cent. PFFFT ! amateurs
I’m new school – I’m using Bitcoins! lol 😉
