After barber shop owner Rich Holtham was quoted £1000 for a new shop floor he decided he’d do it himself, although he wouldn’t be using your everyday materials. Instead he went to the bank and exchanged 700 pounds into 70,000 pennies to cover the floor of his barber shop.
The cost of a normal floor was pretty high, so Holtham thought why not spend a little more and get a truly unique floor instead. After spending a while searching online for inspiration he decided that a penny floor would be a cool idea, so he and his team set to work creating one.
They spent a full week of gluing coins to the ground before the grouting and resin was added on top and although the finally outcome was a little more expensive than the original quote the unique floor has attracted a lot of passers by and been great for businesses. “We have had a lot of interest in the floor, to be fair. Passers-by keep coming into the shop to take a few photos. We have gained a lot of business from it,” Holtham told the Daily Mail.
