Six hundred thousand coins were taken from a London bank vault to the airline's Heathrow engineering base, where a team created a giant mural depicting the Statue of Liberty on an aircraft hangar floor.
The artwork measured 33ft by 26ft and took seven members of the BA team six hours to create as they laid the coins out by hand. The money weighed 53.6cwt.
Sara Dunham, British Airways' head of marketing, retail and direct, said: ‘We've decided to re-create an iconic image from one of our most popular destinations to celebrate the Big British Airways Take Off. We offer a great range of fares and holiday packages which will allow our customers to bank plenty of money to spend on their holidays’’
