Here at Woodchucks Furniture of Jacksonville we are always working to bring you fresh, creative and inspirational design ideas. It's kind of our tradition to do something new and exciting in our showroom each year. This year we have decided to try a penny floor.
That's right PENNY!! As in, "A penny for your thoughts" or "See a penny, pick it up, all day long you’ll have good luck" and "A penny saved is a penny earned."
Here's a few interesting facts about pennies
............(you know... just in case you're ever on Jeopardy).
- The average penny has a life span of about 30 years.
- What happens to a penny after that you ask? When the U.S. Mint receives pennies that aren't good enough for circulation anymore, it melts them down and recycles the metal.
- Throughout history, the penny has been made of various materials, including 100 percent copper, bronze, copper and nickel, steel and zinc-coated copper.
- Today, pennies are made of 2.5 percent copper and zinc. About 30 million pennies every day, with about 1,040 created every second....that's a lot of pennies!! And, did you know the average American household has $93.75 worth of pennies just laying around. With all those pennies laying around why not try to create your own penny floor.
