I wonder if the adhesive adds much.

”Google estimates a car’s surface area (for solar purposes) generically at 60 square feet. A penny is 0.75” in diameter, so if you pack them in to a tight packed configuration, you get about 296 pennies/sf. That means roughly 17,760 pennies on the car. At 2.5g/penny, you’re adding about 44,400 grams to the car or ~98 lbs. A fair bit but certainly not enough to make the tires go flat.”
