I once super glued a coin here and there on the linoleum floor of a home improvement center. Loads of fun watching people trying to pick it up. I also photocopied a dollar onto clear adhesive material and stuck it on a green colored tile there, some dumb kid tried to pick it up.

If these people ever drop a penny onto their finished floor, I'd love to see them look for it. "Honey, it's just a penny, forget about it".

Flooring for $390, not bad. Probably will hoild up pretty well in the long run......
How big was the room?
39,000 pennies will cover a little over 12 square feet, so the cost comes to about $31.70 per square foot. Pretty expensive.
