Can we use canadian pennies in the machines?

Im sure we need to use U.S quarters but do we need to do the same with the pennies in the pressed penny machines?

Yes, you can use CDN pennies, but make sure to use US quarters. There seemed to be a difference however. The CDN pennies didn't elongate as much as the US ones and I found the US ones provided a better pressed penny? Not sure if it has to do with the amout of type sof metals in each penny? Either way make sure you use very clean pennies, vinegare works well to clean them.
