Giant Metallic Penny Tiles

When we were checking out Neo-Metro earlier today, we saw these wall tiles that caught our eye. They're in the Ghost Bar at Dallas' W Hotel. The glam penny tiles are not by Neo-Metro, but they literally outshine the rest of the room...

Despite the Ghost Bar's glowing green mirror surrounds and stainless steel fixtures, these giant penny (silver dollar?) wall tiles steal the show. We love their scale-like texture and shimmer.

We're not sure exactly who makes these shiny babies, but we wonder if they could be these Alloy pennyrounds at Ann Sacks (pictured below).

The walls surrounding the escalators in the SFO BART station are covered in these. The effect of the light bounding off the rows of tiny mirrors as you rise or descend reminds me of sunlight on water.

This would be cool as a backsplash. At $65sqft can I just use pennies ($1.44) or Nickel's ($7.20)??

Reminds me of fish scales or snake skin, very cool thought.
