Penny press - credit card or coinc

[Lydia S]

Not a fan of the zinc streaks though typically my plan is "a zinc penny is better than no penny" but not if I'm paying $1 for it.

Do the manual machines still cost .51 with the cc ones costing $1?

Also, I'm hoping to press some Canadian pennies (since they've been taken out of circulation in Canada and everything we buy with cash is now rounded up/down to the nearest .05). Does anyone know if the machines will accept them?

Think so

Not sure how well Canadian pennies will work since I think there is size difference. But the pre 1982 still applies but really make sure they are pre 2000. That's when they switched to copper plated steel.

I wouldn't use Canadian coins in US machines. They are a different make up than US pennies and can ruin the machines.
