Way to Spend MAX-FM’s ThanksGIVING Cash #27 – Cover Your Floor With Pennies

As you know by now, we here at 94.3 MAX-FM are giving you a chance to win ThanksGIVING Cash. $1,000 twice each weekday on the air, and $10,000 at the end of the month at 943maxfm.com. We have also been thinking about how we would spend the money if we won. Making a floor of pennies sounds like a great idea!

We have recently been thinking about renovating the MAX-FM studio to make it look nice and pretty. When I saw this story I instantly feel in love with the idea. It reminded me of the TV commercials where the guy was so rich he had everything including a mini giraffe. although his floor probably would be covered in hundred dollar bills, the more practical version calls for pennies.

The owner of a Pittsburgh tattoo parlor said she found covering her shop’s floor with pennies was cheaper than buying tile.

Mel Angst, owner of the Artisan tattoo shop, said she and a team of helpers spent about 300 hours gluing 250,000 pennies to the floor of her store. “Amazingly enough, we found it’s a lot cheaper to just glue money to your floor than to actually buy tile. It’s about $3 a square foot,”

Angst said anyone who spent at least 30 hours helping with the floor will receive a complimentary Abraham Lincoln penny tattoo.
