How much?

According to Wikipedia the cost to make a US cent is 1.83 cents. So based on that the cost of the paint job is really $700.00. Of that $317.00 paid for by US taxpayers. :roflblack::roflblack::roflblack:

I would LOVE to do something like that with a cognac rt! Maybe the frunk and the side storage doors and the glove box. I think that would be really neat looking!

By the way, if you have something like that better keep a good supply of either Wright's Copper Cream or Bar Keepers Friend!!! Or just put a coat of poly on it so you wouldn't have to worry about it! I would probably polish the :cus: out of it to get it gleaming then poly it!

Neat looking "paint" job. That one took a lot a real labor of love to complete. :yes::yes:

So go do it. If you top coated it, the coins would stay shiny.

I come up with 211 pounds based on 181 pennies per pound using 1982-2008 pennies.
