Karmen collected the coins from various places and added the place who gave her the most coins was ABSA!

The Ermelo local is an accountant and jokingly told Martin Bester she covered her floor with coins because she wanted a ‘fixed investment’!

Karmen spent 70 hours laying down 50,000 coins, covering her 24-square-meter floor.
