I have dug about 20 or so flattened pennies from amusements, zoos, etc and thought I'd make a display from them. I found a large penny pic on the net and printed it out.

Next I took it to the U of Az library copying dept and for 20 cents they enlarged it to 10 inches square and faded it out for me. I then glued it to an old barn wood board.

Finally, here's the finished layout - the pieces are NOT fixed yet. I took an old typewriter pencil thats an eraser and cleaned the pieces up so they can be read. Then I sprayed them with a coat of clear fixitif so they wouldn't oxidize again.
Now all I need is to find some open space for the display on the wall. steve in so az
