It’s one thing to turn a shed in to a personal pub but it’s another to put a great deal of thought and effort into its decor. One man decided to make his shed-bar into the focal point of his yard and it only took him 5,500 pennies to do so. Reddit user [American Standard][1] used pennies to create a mosaic top for the bar. The $55 in pennies were separated in to three categories: pre-1982 pressed coins that have over 90% copper content, another batch soaked in vinegar and sea salt and left to air dry and polished for a shinny result and the set left to air dry without polish, giving the coins a greenish hue. The time consuming activity to lay out the coins cost American Standard a six-pack of beer to get two friends in on the fun. The user also added a kegerator, framed the windows and even installed bar lights to the pub shed – all are great additions, but it’s the mosaic of pennies that will have everyone talking while enjoying a pint.

No power was ran to it, or anything done beyond just the finished shell. I added the 2 motion detecting security lights on the corners, as well as the LED rope lights on the trestle to give me light to cook with and give the backyard a festive feel. Pardon the extension cord, this was prior to me running electricity to the barn. The external lights were eventually wired to a switch inside.
