說起1美分硬幣這東西,在美國真的可說是雞肋中的雞肋,掉在地上都不會有人撿的硬幣。畢竟你想想,100美分才等於1美元,所以1美分等於台幣0.33元耶…真的超級無用,所以很多人其實都不知道該拿它怎麼辦,但一名女性Gina卻反其道而行,蒐集1美分硬幣並把它們變成最酷的作品!

沒錯,她決定用1美分硬幣來鋪地板。為了確保硬幣間的空隙都一樣,她還使用了這樣的工具。

這些硬幣是她蒐集好幾年的,所以有不同的版本,甚至還有40年代的硬幣呢!

每平方英尺的地板都有野牛鎳幣、麥穗一美分 (1909-1958) 和兩枚1943年鋼製1美分硬幣。

一些碰到邊角的地方比較難鋪硬幣。

但整體來說這工程還不算太難。

完成後她會在用黑色水泥漿填滿空隙,這樣也可以讓硬幣更顯眼。

這是硬幣都鋪上去之後的照片。
![Can you guess how many pennies she used total?](http://teepr.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/01/56a6fcc60ed65.jpg)
這樣一共花了43,758枚硬幣呢!
