Penny smashing...

[mickey+minnie91]

not sure what the correct term is but.....
How many different machines do they have through out the park? Do they sell cases to keep them in for the kids. Thought it would be something different for them to do this time..

We did a bunch in the shops on Mainstreet. I didn't see any books to save them in. I plan to use them on a scrapbook page unless DD wants to keep them for herself.

They have them in the penny arcade right between the candy store and the ice cream parlor. My son just did one today. They have around 4 or 5 machines. They have some for pennies and some for nickles. Each machine has 3 different characters to choose from. The machine that my son used today had the cases right on top of it.

They do sell cases as well in the parks.

WE have a book for squished pennies we got right in the park. I can't remember where, but it was probably in the penny arcade. It seems like I saw them in one or two other places as well.

My kids just love to squish pennies. They have machines all over the park in various places. WE've gone to DL twice, once in 2005 and once in 2006. Both times the penny machine at the end of Splash Mountain was busted, and my dd still is hoping to go back and get a squished penny from that machine. Hopefully it will be working when we go next year.

Do a search on ebay for "disney penny book" and you can see what they look like.

We did one at the Rainforest. My son was not impressed. LOL I don't think he understood what he was getting. He said "Okay so I put in a 35 cents and I only get a smashed penny?" ROFL!

The disney character ones sound cute!

My kids love pressed pennies!

I brought quarters and pennies (alternated 2 quarters, 1 penny) in a M&M minis tube for easy access penny pressing.
OMG! It was a time saver!
Other parents were digging in their wallets, purses and having to go wait in line for change. Not us!
In and out and on to the next ride.

I highly recommend the M&M minis tube.
Also, my sons had fun decorating them with Disney stickers.

I like the m&M tube. Sounds great.

Our friends are from Tokyo and love the pennies.

OMG. I just looked at the location finder for the pressed pennies. I had no idea how many there were. I could spend a fortune for my friend.

The machine in the store by Astro Blasters actually stamps both sides of the penny.

Hi, I was wondering where I can find this pressed penny location finder. Thanks!

I PM'd you. Thanks!!

And yes, there are a ton of penny machines. I, too, did the M&M tube thing. It was very convenient!

Alright, I'm a little embarassed since everyone says their kids like these so much, but I love them! And for some reason, I thought they were only at WDW. Now I'm terribly excited, and will have to start saving my quarters!
