GARFIELD, PA (CNN) -- Check out this floor. A woman in Garfield, Pennsylvania used about 250,000 pennies to create it.

Mel Angst owns a tattoo gallery and coffee shop and says it was cheaper to glue the money down than buy tile.

She picked up the pennies at a local bank, and traded tattoos for manpower.

Angst says it took about 300 hours over three weeks to penny-tile her floor, which is a total of 800 square feet.
