An estimated 59,670 pennies were used to completely cover the floor, which was then sanded down to a shiny copper sheen and cemented in with a clear coat as smooth as a sheet of glass. They spent close to $1,000 on the project,

$596.70, I presume!

which made for a lot of trips back and forth to the bank for more pennies. And created more than a few odd glances from the tellers.

Pfft. They couldn't just get another pickle jarful out of the closet?

I was a little curious why they had to take so many trips back and forth to the bank. They could have, you know, just done the math and estimated how many pennies were needed based on the size of the room and a given penny. Heck, if they really wanted to be green they could have limited themselves to TWO trips maximum!
