THANKS!

I saw a few on ebay today

They sell them at Most places that have the press machines. Most are right on top.

They hold mostly the pennies and a few spots for the Quarters as well.

Yes, I have one of the books. It its a tri-fold I think. I bought to hold my pennies when we went 7 yrs ago. My kids cant wait to get their own book for their pennies on our first trip next week.

Yes, they do sell pressed penny books. we got them last year on our kids' first trip. Some stores have more than one design....I think I saw a Princessy/Fairy one and then a blue more general Disney one. that is the only one at the store where we bought them, and both DD and DS love them.

They especially loved the pressed penny machines that they could cank on their own (which are harder to find). We now get pressed pennies at other places we visit and put them all in the same book for their colection.

We even found a great Red Sox one at a rest stop on the Mass Pike last summer...DS was SOOO excited!

There is a website devoted to pressed pennies at Disney...

There are different views on the best pennies to use. Some say older than 1986 (I think that is the year) as they are made of a different material. However, I tried about 3 methods of cleaning them and it was not fun. I like the ones with brand new pennies the best, and I will be buying a roll of those for our trip.

If you haven't read it already, get the mini M&M tubes and stack them with 2 quarters and a penny, then repeat. Bring an empty tube for your pressed pennies. Makes it very easy when you want to get one!

Have fun!

Awesome idea about the M&M tubes. Will have to take advantage of that on our next trip.

They do have a purple one with Tink and pixie dust and there is a general blue one with the magic kingdom one it. Wee have one of each, they are quad fold and hold a lot of pressed pennies and a few spots for quarters.

They are sold at almost every indoor store at all the parks, they are in front of the registers.

I just found the coolest holders to hold our pressed pennies. This will be our FIRST trip to Disney (less than a month to go), and we plan on doing the pressed pennies. I had read about the m and m holders, but found a container I think will work even better. I found them at Target in the Dollar bin. They are round containers (similiar in size to the m and m containers but a little larger) that have a screw on lid with a clip on it to clip to a belt buckle, backpack, etc. They are made to hold coins/keys etc. when going to the beach/pool. I think they will be perfect for our pressed pennies at Disney and for holding the quarters/pennies.

Hope this helps someone else!
