A friend sent this pic to me this morning.
Someone had a lot of time on their hands.
"The $383.00 Paint Job. And it won't scratch.
1949 Cadillac, Completely covered with 38,295 pennies! They were affixed one by one using Silicone.
They added over 200 pounds to the vehicle's weight.
The entire project took 6 weeks.
The pennies are American, and include an 1817 ''Big Cent'', two Error Pennies, and four 1943 Steel pennies. (but who's counting?)"

They should clear coat it. :)
A great and unique idea.

Actually, that's the whole reason the owner wants you to touch the car. The oils from your hands keep it from undergoing the patina effect.

That's so awesome! I think it would be perfect if honey covered the pennies with the epoxy they use on bar tops. It will fill the spaces between the pennies and you can probably polish it to perfect clarity.

How I would handle it depends on what the client wants done.
