I think pre decimal pennies would be worth investigating ,,,

I like that idea. All those odd coins from holidays would finally have a use.

Use some Euros, I think in a few months the toilet could be the perfect place for them

Fish, shells or flower I'd think would be pretty easy to do given they are round. Whatever make sure it gets a thick top coat of whatever sealant needed to bond or waterproof it

Start a penny jar and see how many you can get. If everyone you know saves up their pennies it could mount up quickly. They won't all be shiny though.

But you can use the shiny/old to help create the pattern

Pre decimal pennies (1d) aren't that expensive and they are larger some on EBay at £99 for 1000 but you'd need less than current ones so cheaper

You should do it with 2p's it gives a better finish. Use old ones for a darker shade and newer ones for a lighter one.

I'm thinking I might do my most fabbed picture.

Amazon sell the clear adhesive tile slabs you need for the job.

I've been saving 2p's for a while for this very reason.

I think you should put the queen face up in your centre point then work a rectangle design into a boarder with tails up if you need any advice let me know as I've done two floors like this to date

Not a scene from The Lion King then? Pfft.

A very cool idea though!
