Cost of Coin Press Machines

[Cinderelly911]

Does anyone know the current price? I was going to package up small containers of coins to have with us for DD and DS but I'm unsure of the cost and the denominations? Also, has anyone used old Canadian pennies? I came across a little piggy bank full and since we don't use them here anymore thought I could use them this way. Thanks!

I read that they are $0.51
So two quarters and the penny.
I think I may follow suit and bring a bunch of my Canadian pennies as well.
Edited to add: this is the website I read it on:

They also have some pressed quarter options. Those are $1.25 - four quarters plus the fifth quarter you are pressing.

Yep, it's two quarters and a penny for each pressed penny machine, and as PP noted there are also pressed quarter machines that use several quarters. We took a package of coins on our last visit, and I wish I had taken more. My daughter loved the pressed penny machines and wasn't very happy when we ran out of coins! I bet the Canadian pennies would work, but haven't tried it. Have fun!!

I am surprised those machines haven't changed to charge more. Those machines (not just at WDW) have been $0.51 for as long as I can remember. Obviously it is a good thing, just surprised.

My kiddos love them as they see the pressed pennies as souvenirs that they buy on their own. I try to bring extra quarters and pennies. FYI M&M mini tubes can hold the extra change.

I'd seen this recommendation before and it works beautifully. The tubes are the perfect size - just pre-sort the change (2 quarters and a penny), stack in the tube, and you're ready to go.
