Apparently you can get them in WDW food courts. We are taking our shiny Canadian pennies and getting the quarters when we arrive (in 12 days!!)

Yes, you need two quarters and the penny that you want to press.

I have started collecting pre 1982 pennies and cleaned a bunch of them last night. They look brand new.

Sorry, I didn't check back here lately. I am certainly willing to share the labels, in fact, they were featured on parkpennies.com. You'll need to install several fonts to make them work, but I can tell you about those too.

Just send me a PM and I'll be happy to share.

Yes. 50 cents per penny machine. It's more for dimes, nickels, and quarters. There are A LOT of machines at WDW so you may want to pick a park, theme, etc. for your first time out.

You can get quarters no problem at WDW. Most of the resorts have machines. If not, just talk to your hotel customer service. They can get you as many rolls as you need.

Wow

Sir Aaron - that sounds like quite the obsession... I mean collection.
Just curious, are there any that you know of but have not been able to get yet? Do you have a "wish list" or "holy grail".

I don't know that I have a wish list. I've pretty much limited my collection to pennies that I have personally pressed. It's a collection, but it's one that I made from places I've been to. The only exceptions I have are free pennies that are given to me as part of my membership to TEC (The Elongagated Collector) or pennies that were given to me when I ordered supplies.

I have sometimes been tempted to purchase pennies especially at auction because some of them have become quite valuable. There are also many Disney pennies I wish I had been able to obtain but was not because the press was broken or I wasn't able to visit when that particular machine was "on stage."

I still have not collected all the WDW pennies. That would a feat in and of itself since it will require me to visit every resort. There are also a number of penny locations around Houston, I've yet to visit.

I haven't decided whether I'll trade with anybody. I have a number of duplicates both in Zinc and Copper.

The one exception I might make is Rainforest Cafe presses. I've been to a number of restaurants and getting them from each and every Rainforest Cafe in the world would be a pretty cool accomplishment.
