"The epoxy cost more than all of the pennies" gives a clue. Depends
what epoxy but it could be pretty durable. Would look a lot better if
the coins were on the surface though.

All equally tarnished so you can't see the pattern?

Either that or worn until there is no pattern! I still think it would
look better.

Make a picture out of them? Given you probably have several colours
(silver, tarnished brown, bright copper and maybe gold colour) you could
maybe even do a sort of painting with them?

What is it that makes epoxy resins so expensive? I remember being
frugal with araldite in the 70's, not much seems to have changed.

Of course, they're all different sizes and shapes, so won't tile
particularly well.

Sounds like a good excuse for a TIG setup if you have not already got
one ;-)

I also have a large collection of paper money, ditto.

If the coins were on the surface it would get a lot of muck in the cracks.

I suppose it was some kind of a statement, bit like when a certain pop star
had a room decorated with Sinclair tvs that all worked. goodness knows why.

Having just repaired something (badly) with gasless MIG I keep thinking

Paper money looks good framed, or under a glass-topped coffee table (if
you like such things).

All the idiotic yanks on that forum are claiming it cost $13,000 in pennies,
even thicker idiotic yanks are telling 'em they need to learn to count as
it's not $13,000, it's $1,300.

Still, these are the same people who voted a washed up reality TV star to
become President so it's hardly surprising

There was a pub in soho Duke of wellington I think, that had papper money from all over the world stuck up behind the bar hardly original I know.

That was the idea.

Not sure what to do with the collection of airline sick bags, tho'.

If you are going for 1980s' -90s' identikit food pub chain look
then just stick them up as well, some of those premises could have
done with some.

Notes, Coins, Cigarettes cards Uniform buttons, Photos that bore no
resemblance to the locality but as long as they were Edwardian nobody
was supposed to notice all stuck on the walls mounted on green baize
and framed. and a play area for the kids.
It was enough to drive me away from drink.

There was more to Reagan than that. He cut his teeth supporting actors'
rights, and was said to be an effective Governor of California. While he
was much mocked for Star Wars, it was a game of bluff which helped to
bring down the Soviet Union. He delegated the hard stuff well and didn't
create policy on the hoof.

Dimwits. My goldsmith friend returns all floor sweepings for recovery
of the gold.

They had been using a special vacuum cleaner to extract the big stuff,
this was when it was eventually it needed replacing, they sent the
carpet off to be chopped up and incinerated to release the precious
metals, I gather they do the same with the bricks used in buildings
where large quantities of gold have been smelted.
